Satellite-based localization Satellite-based communication

Ansaldo STSAnsaldo STS already pioneering new technological trends: Roy Hill example

Roy Hill 1project area

The Roy Hill system is based on key innovative technologies

• TETRA IP-based TLC network• Satellite-based localization with SIL4 accuracy

The satellite-based system relies on a new approach to achieve SIL4 accuracy with the current satellite localizer (LDS)

ERTMS L2 based architecture

Roy Hill 1 is a project by Hancock Prospecting to develop a new Iron Ore mine and build the necessary extraction and transportation infrastructure

• Giant size, low phosphorus iron ore deposit, with 2,4B€ tons of resources

• Posco (3rd largest steel manufacturer) owns a 15% stake in the project

ERTMSRussian

Equipment

ITARUS-ATC

Common project between NIIAS and ASTS.

Use the best technologies available on the Russian and Italian sides.

Increase the performances and safety of the existing lines and stations.

Use satellite technologies (GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO) to locate the train.

Use wireless technologies to supervise the train from track-side (public GSM is used on the trial site).

Realize a modular system.

Develop a common system suitable also for third countries.

“The Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can play a major role in the rail sector, both for fleet management and rail safety (signalling and train control). The EGNOS and GALILEO would fundamentally contribute to increase reliability and reduce cost of the ERTMS odometer …” (extract from the new ERTMS MoU)
