Train Control and Management System (TCMS) is the brain behind the muscles that powers Bombardier’s rolling stock. The role of TCMS team is to program the applicative software of the central calculators merging the traditional wiring and more complicated electronics in order to reach the required train function and ensure that the requested behaviour of the related train systems is achieved.
Slides of a talk given at the Workshop on Specialized Networks held in Conjunction with ETFA 2009.
The use of networks for communications between the Electronic Control Units (ECU) of a vehicle in production cars dates from the beginning of the 90s. The specific requirements of the different car domains have led to the development of a large number of automotive networks such as LIN, J1850, CAN, FlexRay, MOST, etc..
This talk first introduces the context of in-vehicle embedded systems and, in particular, the requirements imposed on the communication systems. Then, we highlight future trends in the development of automotive communication systems.
ERTMS Fact Sheet 14 - ERTMS deployment in the UKUNIFE2012
Although geographically distant from Central Europe’s freight hubs, the UK is gradually launching major ERTMS investments as part of an ambitious program to revitalise national railway traffic. In a country with a long history of conventional signalling systems and train operations, the introduction of a major re-signalling program raises some exciting challenges. Whilst ERTMS Level 2 first entered into
service in March 2011 on the Cambrian line, railway authorities are now pushing for a larger deployment scheme, which would allow to increase capacity and performance on Britain’s railway lines and contribute to economic growth.

THE LONG JOURNEY TO AN INTEROPERABLE RAILWAY SYSTEM
As early as the 1990s, the European Rail Industry, with the backing of the EU Institutions, embarked into the creation of a common signalling system for Europe. Over time, ERTMS emerged as one of the most successful European industrial projects and is now on its way to making rail transport a more competitive transport mode.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 17 - ERTMS deployment in TurkeyUNIFE2012
Historically, Turkey has always sat at the crossroads of trade between Europe, Asia and the Middle East, providing it with an enviable geographical location that offers high prospects for both freight and passenger transportation. In recent years, the country embarked into a major railway investment program to size this opportunity.
ERTMS now plays an essential part in the modernisation of the rail network and the establishment of high-speed lines.

Today, railway operations in several parts of the world and in Europe in particular require a constant and increasingly intense flow of trains on busy routes. By allowing a reduction of headways between trains, signalling systems play a major role in increasing capacity on railway networks, as more trains can run on the same track. Whilst the primary objective behind its creation was to ensure interoperability in Europe, ERTMS also offers considerable benefits in terms of infrastructure capacity, which explain its increasing success outside Europe.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 1 - From trucks to trainsUNIFE2012
Rail transport offers very significant advantages in environmental terms but road freight still dominates the inland freight transport market with a market share of more than 70% in the European Union against a figure of 17% for rail. By ensuring interoperability on the European rail network, ERTMS helps the railway sector to position itself as a true competitor to roads by enabling significant line traffic capacitay increase and promoting cost reduction which will subsequently introduce significant environmental benefits.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 13 - ERTMS from the drivers’ point of viewUNIFE2012
During a train journey, drivers have to reconcile two objectives which may somehow seem opposed: maintaining complete safety whilst ensuring full operational performance and respecting timetables. By providing a specific cab signalling display, ERTMS helps drivers in their day-to-day operations. Thanks to the feature of continuous speed supervision, the driver receives full data about the maximum speed profile according to the track topology at each time.

The ERTMS/ETCS application “levels” define different uses of ERTMS as a train control system, ranging from track to train communications (Level 1) to continuous communications between the train and the radio block centre (Level 2). Level 3, which is in a conceptual phase, will further increase ERTMS’ potential by introducing a “moving block” technology. Whilst it is commonly acknowledged that to date, ERTMS level 2 offers considerable benefits, the use of level 1 already brings significant advantages for the railways and allows for High Speed travel.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 18 - ERTMS deployment in SwedenUNIFE2012
The adoption of ERTMS marks a significant technology shift for Swedish railwayoperators. It means that Sweden is now well positioned to gain from increased competitiveness and is taking a major step towards improved cross-border operations and interoperability, reduced journey times, as well as cutting Sweden’s carbon footprint. Sweden also constitutes a key section of Corridor B. This section of line is expected to be appropriately fitted before 2020.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 15 - International freight corridors equipped with ERTMSUNIFE2012
Still today, the co-existence of more than twenty signalling systems in Europe is a major obstacle to railways’ competitiveness. Trains need to be equipped with several on-board systems to cross borders; drivers need to be trained to use these systems; sometimes trains have even to be changed at the border. The emergence of ERTMS as a unique European signalling standard therefore offers the potential to considerably increase railways competitiveness along international freight Corridors.However, the business case brought by ERTMS will greatly depend on the speed of its deployment on the trackside, and on the will of the EU Member States to make the necessary investments as soon as possible.

With almost 4,500 km of rail tracks contracted (almost 2,500 km of lines), and roughly 1,600 km of lines already in service, Spain clearly emerges as a worldwide leader in ERTMS deployment. Whilst ERTMS has contributed to the success of iconic lines, such as the “AVE” Madrid-Barcelona, where rail is gradually replacing air as the transport of choice (over 48% of market share after 12 months of service), the Spanish experience is also a showcase for the effective interoperability of ERTMS, with no less than 6 companies involved in various projects on the Spanish network.

Belgium and the Netherlands are two countries with a long-standing railway tradition, but which also invested massively to develop a modern High-speed rail network in recent years. In both countries, High Speed has by definition a
European dimension, as lines connect Amsterdam and Brussels to London, Paris
or Cologne. It also comes with a specific challenge – cross-border traffic – in which ERTMS can play a major role. It therefore does not come as a surprise that Belgium and the Netherlands were the first ones to achieve a High-speed ERTMS Level 2 cross-border connection in revenue service since the end of 2009.

Trends in technology. Smart Cities. Impact on business, infrastructure, and real estate. What it takes to manage this change. Our role and participation in the journey of City transformation.
The City of Pittsburgh has managed to reverse the inner-city decline. New Cities Foundation speaks to the Director of the Remaking Cities Institute at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Architecture about the changes.
The annual New Cities Summit is the centerpiece of the New Cities Foundation’s work and aims to place the city at the heart of the global discussion. The theme of the Summit, Thinking Ahead, Building Together, reflects our belief that understanding and contributing to our common urban future will require audacity, analysis and, above all, partnership.
Adjunct Assistant Professor of Urban Planning, Anthony Townsend's Social Nexus article from Scientific American. This article explores how to find creative solutions for cities by harnessing citizen networks.
As part of the SMART2020 program, Information Marketplaces: The New Economics of Cities, is written in partnership with The Climate Group, Arup, Accenture, Horizon and the University of Nottingham, and investigates how technology can be used in cities to meet the growing challenges of expanding urbanization.
When John asked me to take on the role as Cisco’s COO, my first priorities were to simplify the company’s operating model so there was less bureaucracy in our decision making processes, empower teams and individuals to make decisions without all of the previous checkpoints, and determine how we are going to hold ourselves accountable for achieving our goals and producing results. These changes were designed to make it easier to do business with and for Cisco. That principle extends not only to our customers and employees, but to you all as well.

The World is changing, we’re going through massive rebalancing in economic growth, socially – talent re-shuffling, and environmentally – natural resources.
Now everything is becoming connectedThe Internet of Things or what we call the Industrialization of the Internetis already starting to become a reality – it’s not a futuristic event. Right this minute … there are more devices than people on earth that are connected over the Internet What this means is that You and I, among the lucky 2 billion people who are using the Internet today, are surrounded by at least 6 or more connected physical objects each … eg, 2 smartphones + 1 laptop + 1 iPad + 1 IP phone + a media entertainment center + a telematics car + a games console … Cisco estimates this inflection point happened some time between 2008 and 2009 This trend will continue to grow exponentially – doubling to at least 25 billion devices in 2015, and to 50 billion devices by 2020 – smart physical objects that are connected to each other and to humans using the Internet Protocol over public or private networks. Why does this matter?If you think about the massive amounts of data being generated – and available for people to use – just wait until the 50B devices are connected! (you haven’t seen anything yet!)

What will it take to create these cities/communities… new visionary leadership & the creation of New Business Models.Imagine the huge opportunity for new services. Technology will be the key enabler.Only 2% of infrastructure spend – 2% of a trillion dollars is spent on technology – even an increase of 1%? To enable this we should together drive:Visionary leadership is key – finding people with similar mindsets, passion and vision for the future…that’s really key.Global open standards – this is what we do! We did it 25 years ago with the internet…bringing together different protocols and making them all work together. That’s not something just anyone can do.Smart regulation – we need leaders to step up….LEED certification….give benefits to people who implementPublic private partnerships – this has been key to our success so far.And a New ecosystem – working with developers, people like Schneider ElectricBut it takes all five of these factors…without one, it changes completely.
