Overview

Background & policy context:

The need to harmonise train control systems on a common European basis has led to a set of initiatives aiming at implementing a European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). The strategic goal is to ensure the efficient interoperability of railway networks.

Objectives:

ERTMS Tests addressed the full range of preparatory activities required for full-scale trials of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) in a number of pilot sites to be located in France, Germany and Italy. The two main objectives have been to establish user requirements' specifications for a common interoperable ERTMS and to customise these specifications for different national trial sites.
