PKP tests the ERTMS<br />
In March 2014, PKP PLK selected a consortium led by Thales<br />
to provide the implementation of the ERTMS system, including<br />
ETCS Level 2 and GSM-R, on two sections of Warsaw-Łódź<br />
railway. The contract amounts to around EUR 100 Million. The<br />
two railway sections Warsaw Zachodnia – Koluszki and Koluszki<br />
- Łódź Widzew amount to around 125 km. The contract includes<br />
the design and construction of a local command centre in Skierniewice.<br />
Interoperability is a clear objective of the Polish infrastructure<br />
manager PKP PLK which granted PLN 470 Million (EUR 114<br />
Million) to the installation of the ETCS Level 2 on Gdynia-Warsaw<br />
railway of 340 km, part of the current pan-European Corridor<br />
VI. Financing was granted in January 2013. Implementation<br />
works will take two years. Polish authorities want to obtain more<br />
significant financing from EU funds. At present, the railway transport<br />
projects of local authorities in Poland are 59% covered from<br />
EU funds, while those of railway companies, 70%.<br />
As of June, PKP PLK conduct tests of a modern system to support<br />
the work of the driver ERTMS level two. Tests are carried<br />
out on the section of the railway line E 30 between Legnica and<br />
Bielawa Dolna. The system, which allows you to raise the level<br />
of safety of operating the train.“Test locomotive equipped with<br />
special equipment on board, after the positive verification and<br />
acceptance by the Commissioner of PKP Intercity SA, has been<br />
substituted for section control. Tests are conducted on the Okmiany<br />
– Boleslawiec and Okmiany – Boleslawiec line sections”, said<br />
Ryszard Biernat, contract manager PKP PLK.<br />
The aim of the first tests is the verification of assumptions regarding<br />
the technical solutions of the system. The results of the interaction<br />
between track-side and on-board ERTMS will be used to<br />
implement the second level on the main railway lines in Poland.<br />
The project is implemented under the programme “Modernization<br />
of railway line E 30, stage II. Pilot implementation of ERTMS<br />
/ ETCS and ERTMS / GSM-R section Legnica - Węgliniec - Bielawa<br />
Dolna. The project is co-financed by EU within the Cohesion<br />
Fund.<br />
