ETCS Data Diagnostics - Preliminary Market Engagement (Update)

  • NETWORK RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-0528d5

Description

The East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP) will bring implement the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 and in-cab signalling via the Driver Machine Interface (DMI) onto the East Coast Main Line-South (ECML-S).

Currently, there is no efficient method for managing millions of data lines generated weekly from the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) on the Northern City Line, and the rest of the East Coast and North & East regions as they are deployed.

The target is to have a diagnostic capability in place to optimise ETCS operations, predict failures, and enhance performance.

The development of the diagnostic capability is seen as vital to gain a deeper understanding of ETCS operations, including system behaviour, performance metrics, and underlying factors contributing to disruptions. It also provides the capability to predict and proactively address system failures.

Note that the delivery stage of the project is subject to PACE (Project Acceleration in a Controlled Environment)
