ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 solution for main lines
(SIL4)
INTERFLO 260 is an ERTMSIETCS Level 1 solution for main ines (SIL4), This solution comprises all the trackside products
required for such a line, and also includes the automatic train protection (ATP) system, as well as the ATP system onboard the train,
‘The system has the following characteristics:
+ Drive on sight together with the capability of an ERTMS Level 1 ATP system
‘+ Automatic train protection (ATP) information through Eurobalises and Euroloop
+ EB! Lock computer-based interlocking
+ EBI Track train detection by track circuits, or axle counters,
+ EBI Switch point machines controlled by interlockings
+ EB/ Light by conventional, fre optic or LED signals
+ EB! Screen control room handles train supervision
‘The INTERFLO 250 solution is commonly applied as an overlay to existing national ATP networks providing higher levels of safety,
but providing an economical migration and early experience with ERTMS Level + technology. The provision and linking to an STM
may be required to co-exist with existing ATP systems.
EBI Screen control room
‘The traffic is supervised by the EB! Screen control room system. This is a modem state ofthe art computer-based control and
supervision system allowing the operator to glve commands through a mouse or keyboard with the facility to have the position of the
vehicles and optional wayside abjects shown on both normal display screens and large rear projection screens.
‘The functionality includes:
+ Advanced CTC with flexible automatic route setting
+ Supervision and data acquisition (SCADA)
+ Passenger information displays (PIDs)
+ Closed
uit TV (CCTV)
+ Public announcement (PA)
+ Radio communication
EB! Lock computer-based interlocking
‘The INTERFLO 250 solution uses EB! Lock computer-based interlocking, These interlockings can be either centralised or
distributed, in which case the central unitis located in one place and the object controller units that drive the wayside objects can be
located at some distance from the central unit. Dual and redundant architecture with hot standby provides high availabilty.
EBI Link ATP wayside equipment
In ERTMS level 1, static and variable information from the track is passed to the train through Eurobalises that are mounted in the
‘contre of the track. The signal aspect is detected by the lineside electronic unit (LEU), which transmits the corresponding telegram
to a controllable balise. The Eurobalise transmits the telegram to the ETCS onboard system during the train passage. Fixed
telegram Eurobalises are mainly used to transmit static information and to serve as reference points for the trains to calibrate their
position on the track. These balises give an exact position to the train as it passes and allows the train to normalise its position,
reducing the position error.
EBI Track train detectionThe detection of vehicles in the INTERFLO 250 solution usuelly ocours through axle counters, or normal track citcuits, which
provide continuous detection on the position of the vehicle.
EBI Switch point machines
Point machines from the EB! Switch point machine range can be used, depending on what is suitable forthe particular market
Conventional or sleeper integrated point machines are used in an INTERFLO 250 solution. The point machines are operated by
the EB! Lock computer-based interlocking,
EB! Light signals
‘The INTERFLO 250 solution uses conventional, fre optic or LED signals. The signals are used to give the train proceed or not-o-
proceed information. The EB! Light system includes mainline, dwarf, and tunnel signals,
EB! Gate level crossing
Complete level crossing systems are used in the INTERFLO 250 solution
EBI Cab ATP onboard equipment
The onboard equipment consists of EB! Cab, which is a distributed onboard system. The ATP system onboard controls the train
‘according tothe information sent by the Eurobalises, The ATP onboard equipment ensures that the driver doesn't override the
‘speed regulations,
EBI Tool processes & tools
‘The EB! Too! toolbox provides an integrated environment for adaptation, engineering, installation, test, commissioning and
maintonance of an INTERFLO 250 solution
