EEIG ERTMS Users Group
Railway companies deploying ERTMS, creating a safe, reliable and interoperable railway network in Europe
Strong and integrated energy and transport networks are the cornerstone of the European market. Development and implementation of ERTMS is one of the measures to create a Trans-European Network for rail. The ERTMS Users Group combines the knowledge and experience of its members to support the introduction of ERTMS and to assure that it will be a safe, reliable and interoperable system at reasonable and affordable costs.
MISSION
The mission of the ERTMS Users Group is to help the railway companies in applying ERTMS/ETCS in a harmonized and interoperable way, to enable the free flow of trains and a competitive railway.
ERTMS is an abbreviation of European Rail Traffic Management System. ERTMS consists of ETCS (European Train Control System), GSM-R (a radio-based communication system for rail) and ETML (European Traffic Management Layer, providing information about the location of trains on the network). The ERTMS Users Group focuses its activities on ETCS and the ETCS related part of GSM-R.
