The article describes current situation and expected deployment of international standard for automatic rail vehicle protection in Czech Republic for period 2014 – 2020. Article introduces expected status in 2020 and subsequent implementation of commitments until 2026. It introduces expected result of gradual implementation for tracks and vehicles. It also displays brief deployment overview of European Rail Traffic Management System in European Union countries for each level of European Train Control System. Keywords: ERTMS, ETCS, GSM-R, Interoperability. 1. Introduction The ERTMS is automatic train protection which rep- resents basic part of interoperability in European rail system. The term is abbreviation of "European Rail Traffic Management System" and it was defined to synchronize nationals systems to the one common compatible system. Urgency of the unification and cooperation between European countries caused an increase in freight which had negative impact for en- vironment and ecology. The implementation of in- teroperability and automatic train protection across European countries allows competition to air and car freight. Implementation of the standard is business initiative that transforms the operation of the tracks, enhance safety, capacity, performance and reliability. It also have impact on reduce of cost of operation and maintenance. ERTMS is divided into two basic components. The first one is ETCS "European Train Control System" and second GSM-R "Global System for Mobile Com- munication for Railway". The ERTMS allow one compatible system for cross- border traffic what reduce cost for implementation several regional stand-alone systems. The synchro- nization of automatic train protection increase com- petitiveness of the European rail sector. GSM-R "Global System for Mobile Communica- tions – Railway" is a radio system based on GSM standard for providing of voice and data communica- tion between vehicle and track. ETCS "European Train Control System", is an au- tomatic train protection system to replace the existing national systems. The ETCS replaces about twenty different automatic train protections across European track. It can be configured to operate in one of the fol- lowing application levels to enable ETCS equipped vehicles to operate in not ETCS equipped system where the safe movement of the vehicle is controlled by the default national control system: Figure 1. ETCS L1 [1] • Level 0 – ETCS equipped vehicles operating on lines without ETCS system, • Level 1 – an conventional line-side signal is passed to the train via a switched transmitter on the track, repeating the indication from the conventional sig- nalling system, which continues to be used to sup- port safe train separation. It is the Figure 1, • Level 2 – movement authority is passed by the GSM-R radio network from a Radio Block Centre to the train. Conventional train detection systems are utilized in conjunction with interlocking systems used to enforce safe train separation. It is the Figure 2, • Level 3 – it builds on Level 2, but increases safe train separation using critical data from the train. It is the Figure 3. 2.

The document defines maximum amount of payloads for each project GSM-R and ETCS L2 with respect to co-financing from ERTMS funds. It also defines expected deployment schedule of each project. Between 2005 and 2014 was equipped 1132 km of tracks across of the Czech Republic. It is connected to Figure 4. Map of GSM-R implementation [2] Figure 5.

Almost all ČD vehicles used in regular operation are now equipped with GSM-R terminals. The first stage with fully deployed ETCS system at 2021 will be track "Praha – Česká Třebová – Brno – Břeclav".

Expected track deployment of ETCS L2 [3] After 2020 will be deployed around 250 km tracks and 150 vehicles every year until 2026. Strategies transition from the current national sys- tem VZ SS to European interoperable system Class A – ETCS consists a combination of investment in track equipment and train equipment. In the first phase will be equipped only international traffic trains. During migration will vehicles equipped with ETCS parallel with VZ LS that allow operation of both systems together. ETCS should be fully migrated for first and second rail corridor and the track Přerov – Česká Třebová at the latest to 2030. After the migration period will be completely de- commissioned national systems VZ LS and fully de- ployed ETCS system. In some cases can be deployed new special sections equipped solely with ETCS, which will be designed to operate only vehicles equipped with ETCS even before end of migration period. i.e. a railway connection Václav Havel airport Prague and Prague center. 3. Deployment of ERTMS in other European countries Unification of Europe requires to all transport sys- tems operates without restrictions and time losses, especially when crossing borders. The Deployment started in most of European Union countries. Following countries started participation on deployment of the ERTMS standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Den- mark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United King- dom. The Figure 7 displays amount of kilometers con- tracted tracks for each country. The Figure 8 displays covering of the ERTMS di- vided by level of tracks. The Figure 9 displays amount of deployed on-board equipment of vehicles for each country. The Figure 10 displays levels of on-board equipment implemented in vehicles. 72 vol. 5/2016 Deployment of ERTMS in Czech Republic Figure 7. ERTMS contracted tracks [km] in EU Figure 8. TRACKS in EU separated by level 4. Conclusions By 2020 the GSM-R will cover major sections of the Rail Freight Corridors in the Czech Republic. The sys- tem will be further deployed progressively on all 3700 km of national routes in order to create comprehensive operational tracks. ETCS deployment priority by 2020 is Rail Freight Corridor 7, partially corridors 8, 9, 5 and the track Přerov – Česká Třebová. By 2020, it is necessary to ensure the development of the ETCS about 1350 kilometers of tracks and 890 vehicles, ie. for additional six years, around 250 km of tracks and 150 vehicles every year, but this is conditional on the timely implementation of the modernization infrastructure. This requires the necessary financial resources for the trackside and on-board ERTMS and creating mo- Figure 9. Global ERTMS vehicles contracted in Europe Figure 10.
