Optimizing ERTMS Lifecycle Costs for Trackside and On-board Systems
The study delves into the cost drivers and proposed solutions for optimizing the lifecycle costs of ERTMS systems. It highlights the significant cost increases in recent years and identifies deployment phases, uncertainty factors, and lack of competition as major drivers. Proposed solutions include project structuration improvements, management enhancements, and accelerating deployment. The study emphasizes the importance of modularity, reducing testing needs, and simplifying national rules. Overall, it offers a comprehensive approach to cost optimization in ERTMS lifecycle management.

Introduction OBU Cost Drivers Study Context Approach Findings DMT (INECO, EY and BA) tasked with collecting data on the costs and performance of ERTMS and its deployment. Targeted interviews with stakeholders comprising: Costs have increased considerably in recent years: RUs (freight and passenger) ERTMS suppliers Rolling stock leasing companies Transport authorities Assessment bodies Testing facilities 2018: 450k per vehicle for retrofit and 200k for upgrade. 2022: 900k per vehicle for retrofit and 400k for upgrade 23/04/2024 3
Introduction OBU Cost Drivers Study Main cost drivers identified Deployment Deployment Phase Phase Authorisation Authorisation Phase Phase Design Phase Design Phase Uncertainty on the Inflation and energy crisis. Lack of upgradeable products. Project duration and vehicle downtime. Quantity of demanded tests. Lack of capacity for testing and long waiting times. Third party assessments. number of vehicle types within a fleet. National requirements. Availability of documentation. Lack of competition Lack of competition vendor lock vendor lock- -in situation in situation 23/04/2024 4
Introduction OBU Cost Drivers Study Proposed solutions to mitigate cost increase Implemented (*) Short-term Medium-term Timing Improve project structuration. Improve project management. Accelerate ERTMS deployment and class-B decommissioning. Prepare guidelines for authorisations. Ensure sufficient capacity of 3rd party assessors. Specify interface between ETCS- ATO-Rolling stock and communication system. Elimination of partial fulfilment. Error correction process. Increase modularity. Reduce the need for testing. Define ERTMS parameters for a vehicle types. Further simplification of national rules. (*) Measures already included in the CCS TSI 2023 whose economic impact is not appreciated yet 23/04/2024 5
So much for the theory How to optimise cost for the ERTMS Lifecycle for Trackside and On-board? what is your view? 23/04/2024 6
Group discussion Question #1 What are the main cost drivers along the lifecycle? Aspects to consider: Design and deployment. Authorisation. Operation (incl. maintenance). Practical: Duration: 15-20 min. 23/04/2024 7
Group discussion Question #2 What are the direct effects of these cost drivers in terms of OPEX/CAPEX? Aspects to consider: Please provide a ranking of the cost drivers based on their impact. Practical: Duration: 10-15 min. 23/04/2024 8
Group discussion Question #3 What are the solutions to mitigate the cost drivers? Aspects to consider: Solutions that have already been implemented? Any best practices? How would you reduce costs? What are the most important aspects to reduce costs? Practical: Duration: 15 min. 23/04/2024 9
