Animation: Future possibilities
What is TSLG?
•Cross-industry technical
community
•Broad representation
•RSSB-facilitated
•Strategic direction agreed with
Rail Delivery Group
•Responsible for cross-industry
Technical Strategy
RTS 2012
• Industry led
• Whole system
• 30 year vision
• Transforming the railway
• The opportunities are huge
• Quantum shift in the cost base
• Unlocking capacity to generate
additional revenue
Consultation
• Formal consultation
commenced October 2010
• Extensive workshops
• Endorsed by RDG and other
cross-industry groups
•RTS 2012 has informed
industry business planning
processes
–Launch of the RTS 2012
13th December
• This is the vision of the industry
• It will be for the industry to
transform the vision into reality
–…and FuTRO is the first
substantive step
• Potential value £200-£400m pa

FuTRO
Introducing Ed Rollings
FuTRO
Future Traffic Regulation and
Optimisation
FuTRO
• What it isn’t
– Today’s railway
– Today’s technology
Current Traffic Management
• Today’s Operating Concept
• Today’s technology
• Jump off for FuTRO
The Vision
• Integrated transport system management
– End to end journey management
– Vehicle and network management
– Optimised operation and servicing
ERTMS
European Rail Traffic ____________ System
• Where is the Management?
From Here to Where?
Safe (Train) Separation
Movement Authority
Control and Display Systems
Low Level Traffic Management
High Level Traffic Management
Safety
Business
Operational
Management
What is FuTRO then?
• Comprehensive system management
• Real Time Optimisation
• Resilient
• Sustainable supply and support
• Environmentally positive
• Flexible, scalable capability
A suite of tools?
Challenges
• Train Data
• Infrastructure Data
• Real time optimisation
• Decision dissemination
• Resilience
• Human/Automation balance
