Table 3.4CategoryDescription of the radio-communication system GSM-R VoiceNotesSystemFunctionGSM-R VoiceThe radio-communication system for rail safety offers the functionalities below.• Conversations between traffic control and drivers on the basis of train number.• Receipt by drivers of general calls by traffic control.• Sending of alarm calls by drivers to traffic control and vice versa.All conversations are recorded for safety purposes.A GSM-R connection also allows for use of foreign GSM-R networks. Railwayundertakings with foreign GSM-R SIM cards can also make use of the <strong>ProRail</strong>GSM-R network.FacilityA SIM card is required for connection to the <strong>ProRail</strong> GSM-R network. <strong>ProRail</strong>makes SIM cards available.ApplicationRequest for SIM cards at:One-Stop-Shop ServicedeskTel.: +31 (0) 88 231 3456E-mail: oss@prorail.nlDelivery time5 working days for delivery of GSM-R SIM cardDelivery terms<strong>ProRail</strong> reserves the right to set off external costs in case of misuse of the GSM-Rservice.User conditionsThe railway undertaking requires appropriate equipment and a SIM card connectionto the GSM-R network. Type-approved equipment must be used. A list of approvedequipment is available on the website of <strong>ProRail</strong> (www.prorail.nl > vervoerders >diensten > informatie > GSM-R Voice).Availability / Reliability Availability: 7 x 24 hours with a performance level of 99.8%.The minimum storage term of the audio recordings is 7 days.3.3.3.4 Automatic train control systems (ATC systems)• Type of automatic train control system per route section: see appendix 14.The (Belgian) ATC system Memor/krokodil is installed between the national border and thestart/end of the ATC system covered area on the border route sections Roosendaal – Roosendaalborder and the Maastricht-Eijsden border. Information on the functioning of the system is availablein the form of documentation provided by Infrabel, manager of the Belgian railway network. Thisinformation can also be requested from <strong>ProRail</strong>.The German PZB/Indusi ATC system has been installed at a number of signals at the Venlorailway yard, the border route section Venlo – Venlo border, and the border route sectionEnschede – Enschede border. Information on the functioning of the system is available in the formof documentation provided by DB-Netze, manager of the German railway network. Thisinformation can also be requested from <strong>ProRail</strong>.• Both ATC-EG and an ERTMS ATC system are present on the route sections AmsterdamDuivendrecht – Utrecht as well as Lelystad stabling yard connection – Hattemerbroek connection.Traction vehicles fitted with ATC system and/or compatible ERTMS train equipment can use thisroute section. The ERTMS control system permits suitable and approved rolling stock to run at thespeeds indicated below.- Amsterdam - Utrecht: 160 km/h.- Lelystad stabling yard connection - Hattemerbroek connection: 200 km/h.Rolling stock fitted with ETCS can run on this route section with ATC system without requiringERTMS communication encryption keys.• The ATC system (both ATC-EG and ATC-NG) monitors the instruction to reduce speed to the limitindicated by the signalling system. At selected locations, the system has an extra function (‘ATC-Vv’) that provides for braking curve monitoring in the speed range between 0 and 40 km/h. ATC-Vv only works on rolling stock fitted with the ATC-Vv functionality.• An ETCS level transition STM-ATC STM-PZB is present on the border route sections:- Nieuweschans – Weener (D)- Coevorden – Laarwald (D)<strong>Network</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> <strong>2014</strong> Combined <strong>Network</strong> - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 27
