European Traffic Management Layer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Traffic Management Layer (abbreviation ETML , in German: European dispatch network or European traffic management level ) was one of the three components of the European Rail Traffic Management System (abbreviation ERTMS ) , alongside the train control system ETCS and communication system GSM-R .

As the only component, the ETML serving the uniform European traffic management was neither described in detail nor specified and implemented.

function

With ETML the higher-level functions for traffic management and control for the administrative and inter-company traffic organization and the internal organization of the participants should be regulated.

In an early phase of ERTMS planning, the following contents were named under the original name "Train Management Layer" :

  • Passenger information in the car
  • Onboard ticket purchase
  • Transmission of reservation data
  • Cargo tracking
  • Train completion notification
  • Transmission of locomotive fault data

According to other information, ETML should serve the cross-border exchange of (non-secure) train running data .

history

In 2007, ETML was tested in Corridor A.

Until 2016 there was little progress, ETML was hardly more than a concept. The extent to which European harmonization would make sense in this area was discussed.

Since the redesign of the European Railway Agency's official website in 2018, ETML is no longer mentioned.
