DeltaRail and ERTMS
Simulation and Test Software at ERSA

Introduction
The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is being developed to replace the different national train control and command systems in Europe.  It is intended that the deployment of ERTMS will enable the creation of a seamless European railway system and increase the European railway's competitiveness.

ERTMS has two basic components:
• ETCS, the European Train Control System.  An automatic train protection (ATP) and cab signalling system to replace the existing national systems on high speed and conventional lines.

• GSM-R, a radio system for providing voice and data communication between the track and the train, based on standard GSM, using frequencies specifically reserved for rail application with certain specific and advanced functions.

DeltaRail's European Rail Software Application (ERSA) subsidiary provides a comprehensive range of ERTMS/ETCS software, test tools and simulation products.

Key Features
The ERTMS product range includes:
ERTMS/ETCS Driver Machine Interface
ERTMS/ETCS Operational Simulator
ERTMS/ETCS Training and Simulation Tools
ERTMS/ETCS Traffic Simulator
ERTMS/ETCS Tools and Test Benches.

Benefits
• Provides a cost effective and validated environment for designing and testing ERTMS/ETCS components.

• Improves safety and operational efficiency through realistic training in the operation of ERTMS systems.
