More than 1 billion rubles for modernization of rail routes – the Republic

the Tenders relate to the introduction of the system in areas of the core network ten-T: : – Terespol, łowicz – Doug and Podrinje – Rzeszow.

System ERTMS/ETCS level 2 to get on the highway E20: – Terespol (with the exception of the Warsaw node) and E30 episode, Podlesie – Rzeszow. On the line C-E20 łowicz – Arcs arise from ERTMS/ETCS level 1.

the Company said that the work raised, including approx 990 km of railway lines. To work with the system will fit also the staff of traffic management on railway transport. There will be two local control centers (LCS) in Rzepinie and Zbąszynku, but three will be upgraded (LCS Opalenica, Membrane LCS and LCS Minsk Mazowiecki). As part of the work will be constructed two centers of radio control (RBC) on the site, Podlesie – Rzeszow, as well as eleven RBC on the section: Terespol.

PKP PLK also have to prepare for the introduction of modern technology, railway infrastructure, time currently being carried out modernization works on UNP. Krakow – Rzeszow, Szczecin – Kiev and Warsaw – Terespol.

“already Implemented at approx. 340 km of lines (including CMK) modern, digital control systems, railway traffic, allows more efficient and safer, controlling the movement of trains. Eventually, the system will flush the main railway lines in the country. These routes are of international importance, the use of the system will allow, so that free access to the network of all European”, added managing infrastructure.

PKP PLK is reported that the introduction of the ERTMS/ETCS system will enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidents on the railway. Such a system is also needed to ensure that trains can move at speeds above 160 km/h ERTMS/ETCS will also składom moving on the European railway lines to freely cross borders.

System ERTMS/ETCS in particular, the work of the driver. Depending on the level of system information to the driver is transmitted via the devices installed on highways and przytorowe drivers for onboard devices. This information is displayed on the desktop, located in the locomotive cab.

the Driver constantly receives information about the current permit and permissible speed on the line, and the location of other trains, the permissible speed, the closing of the crossings, any unexpected way on the route. Thanks sent and this information possible continuous and automatic control of the driver and automatic speed limitation in case of lack of appropriate reaction.

in turn, the ERTMS/ETCS level 2 based on the digital radio system GSM-R Consists of two elements: European Control System (ETCS) communication system GSM-R.

PKP PLK is planning that by the end of 2023. the system is specially equipped to 2.5 thousand. km of railway lines.
