Main results achieved for ATO:
- GoA2 specification composed of:
o Operational Concept Documents: An harmonised specification of the Operational Principles, the Operational Requirements and the Operational Scenarios. They are in the Application Guide in the CCS TSI 2023.
o A glossary in the CCS TSI 2023 Annex A.
o System requirement specification: SUBSET-125 “ERTMS/ATO – System Requirement Specification”, SUBSET-126 “ERTMS/ATO – ATO-OB / ATO-TS FFFIS – Application Layer”, SUBSET-130 “ERTMS/ATO – ATO-OB / ETCS-OB FFFIS – Application Layer”, SUBSET-139 “ERTMS/ATO – ATO-OB / Rolling Stock FFFIS – Application Layer” and SUBSET-143 ”ERTMS/ATO – Interface Specification: Communication Layers for On-board Communication.”. They are all in CCS TSI 2023 Annex A.
- Up to GoA4 specification composed of:
o Operational Concept Documents (including the Glossary).
o ATO (up to GoA4) specification including an MBSE model based on the Capella tool and the associated word document.
This specification has been transmitted to Europe’s Rail with a large support of experts.
- Two Reference Test Benches
- Interoperability tests in factory
- Pilot tests on site
Main results achieved for OTI:
- Specifications development with safety analysis to support implementation on the rail network
- Laboratory performance analysis to evaluate kinematic data comparison and communication liveliness criteria for train integrity monitoring
- Successful on-field testing with three different types of trains and three different technologies on three different sites
- Preliminary safety assessment of the three demonstrators
- Cost-Benefit Analysis and Migration Plan
- Proposal for possible future standardization of OTI interfaces
These results have been presented to Europe’s Rail.
Main results achieved for TMS:
- A functional specification for Traffic Management System (TMS), which adds degraded mode Use Cases, consolidating the Actors List, and capturing lessons learnt from the implementation of Use Cases developed in X2Rail-2.
- The description of process and system changes required for the application of advanced algorithms, including the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), the system assisted process and the technical infrastructure to validate and negotiate large scale solutions.
- Describe how Mental Workload and Situations Awareness can be measured during actual operation “in the wild” for traffic management, i.e. develop the methods to be used to investigate the work situation for train dispatchers in particular.
- Test and evaluation report for new algorithmic approaches for automation and optimization of traffic management.
These results have already been used by the partners in the development of the demonstrators.
- The definition of interoperable data model used for information exchange.
- A set of demonstrators for new advanced TMS applications, communication principles and processes including an interoperable data model.
- Large-Scale Scenario Test campaign conducted several partners to validate the overall concept of Integration Layer and interoperable Canonical Data Model.
The results have been presented to Europe’s Rail.
Main results achieved for SWOC:
- Eight different prototypes have been defined to cover a large spectrum of suitable scenarios, in order to test each of the functionality/features to be covered by the SWOC.
- All the demonstrators have been developed and tested successfully.
The conclusions from testing the SWOC demonstrators are positive in all the areas defined:
- Wireless communication: wireless has been successfully implemented.
- Power supply: local power supply systems and reduction of power consumption, including power saving modes, have been demonstrated.
- Smart features as diagnosis and maintenance management: predictive enablers and remote update of SWOC (configuration data and applications).
- Cybersecurity concept according IEC 62443-4-2 standard in order to reach Security Level 2.
These results have been presented to Europe’s Rail.
A large dissemination was organised about all these activities (numerous papers and presentations in various congresses and events). A major final event for the project was jointly organised with X2Rail-5 and Tauro.
