ETCS Level 2 Operational Concept in Austria March 2011 ETCS Level 2 Operational Concept in Austria 11th UIC ERTMS World Conference - Istanbul April 2014 Dr. Ruth HIERZER / Thales Manfred PISEK / ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG Transportation Systems

Thales in Transportation A specialist in IT-based critical systems for Transport

Thales Transportation Systems by the numbers 15,754 km of track equipped with the Thales ETCS solutions 219,949 Thales rail field equipment installed worldwide 15% traction energy savings with optimised train management, equivalent to 100 family homes power consumption

Thales Transportation Systems by the numbers Up to 500,000 control points supervised from a single OCC Real-time video surveillance transmission to OCC from all transport modes Over 50 million ticketing transactions in 100 cities processed daily by Thales

Strategic Targets Infrastructure Operations OeBB Target network 2025+ represents a capable infrastructure for more trains, passengers, goods, and synchronised traffic. Key Figures – Network 2012 5000 km of railroads 6500 trains per day 224 million passengers per year 113 million tons of goods per year 142 million km covered by trains Key Figures – Network 2025+ (according to traffic forecasts) ~ 4800 km of railroads ~ 9000 trains per day ~ 300 million passengers per year ~ 142 million tons of goods per year ~ 198 million km covered by trains Source: N.Pausch, ÖBB-Inrastruktur AG Reduced headway times - Efficient use of infrastructure Higher train speeds Synchronised traffic with well linked connections Energy efficiency

Main Pillars of Strategy Implementation Automatisation Centralisation ETCS deployment Continued Electronic Interlocking rollout Civil works related network adaptations and improvements

Integrated Operations - Automatisation Timetabling Process visualization Forecasting Conflict detection Automated operation Customer information Automated shunting … and more Safe & Secure Remote Control Route Control – Interlocking Work site protection Train Control – ETCS

Integrated Operations - Centralisation 5 Operation Control Centers (OCC) are responsible for the control and dispatching of the complete core network of the ÖBB Increasing productivity Assuring the highest level of safety Enhancing quality

Longterm Investment Strategy for Integrated Operations 2032 Objective: The operation control-strategy has been implemented for the whole network the implementation is linked to projects within the future network 2025+ 2012 The operation control-strategy is being implemented 1 integrated traffic management centre 5 operation control centres 2005 Decision to implement the operation strategy at ÖBB In 2032 approx. 1,700 employees in network operations Approx. 94 staffed local operation sites Approx. 145,000 Train km covered per employee In 2012 3,170 employees 310 staffed local operation sites 51,000 Train km covered per employee Initial Position 4,455 employees 530 staffed local operation sites 37,000 Train km covered per employee Source: N.Pausch, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG

First ETCS Level 2 Project in Austria First ETCS L2 implementation for Austrian Railways with two line sections on main railway corridor Project duration: May 2009 – Dec 2012 First Putting into operation ETCS L2 in Austria December 9th, 2012

OeBB‘s Operations Experience - Major Achievements Significant travel time reduction: Vienna – Salzburg 2:20 h 2013: 1 Million Train KMs reached Up to 270 trains/day with speeds up to 230 km/h 2013: less than 200 delayminutes/month caused by ETCS

Experience and recommendations Involve experts with practical background from the very beginning Set a clear target with corresponding timeline and let them work – without intervention! Cooperate with suppliers as close as you can Necessity of clear and detailed operational and technical specifications Supplementary integrations lab for early system testing
