“Martec’s Law” - challanges
ERTMS – the largest upgrade of the
Swedish railway in modern time
“Totally renovating and upgrading the house while living in it and expecting a good quality of life”
Interoperability within Europe
Digitalisation for future possibilities, e.g. high speed, moving block and Automatic Train Operation (ATO)
Improved dependability
• Eliminate risk of shortage (competence and parts) for legacy systems (e.g. manual and Automatic Train Control, ATC)
• More robust infrastructure and traffic (e.g. reinvestment and investment that eliminates maintenance backlog (end of life)
• Decreased complexity of the infrastructure (and increased complexity of vehicles)
• Replacing functionality in the infrastructure (H/W) with logic in a traffic control cloud (S/W)
• From 750 to 160 interlocking areas (from one to five stations per interlocking)
• Moving functionality form the infrastructure to vehicles (e.g. signalling, TIMS and DAC, but also monitoring and test)
• Transferring signalling cost (and control) from infrastructure (managers) to vehicles (owners and operators)
• Industrialised building of infrastructure
• Increased standardisation and reduced variation (e.g. signalling packages)
• 100<1000 % capacity increase (number of interlocking areas per year through changes in technical and traffic regulations)
• 10<100 % reduction of lead time and cost for converting an interlocking area (e.g. supplier and building contracts)
• 1<10 % reduction of cost on national level through considering low hanging fruits in existing technical regulation
• Increased necessity of coordination of task in the infrastructure (“bucket planning” in a line perspective), cf. process industry.
• Not only signalling, but also track, power and communication
• Shorter life cycles of functional parts, e.g. more software and electronics, but also increased cost of changes in all parts
• Signalling packages – baseline and continuous improvement of technologies, methodologies and regulations (for
interlocking areas) including requirements management and change control
• Increased requirements on information and cyber security

• Context (theories)
• Innovation improvements
• How to decide what is right
• Shewhart, Juran, Taylor, Nowlan & Heap
• Assumptions (standards)
• Effectiveness improvements
• Decide what is right
• ISO, IEC, ITU
• Actions (regulations)
• Compliance (e.g. CSM)
• Efficiency improvements
• Doing things right and better
Innovation and transformation
