TRANSCRIPT
2
While some activities among competitors are both legal and beneficial to the industry, group activities of competitors are inherently suspect under the antitrust/ competition laws of the countries in which our companies do business. Agreements between or among competitors need not be formal to raise questions under antitrust laws. They may include any kind of understanding, formal or informal, secretive or public, under which each of the participants can reasonably expect that another will follow a particular course of action or conduct. Each of the participants in this initiative is responsible for seeing that topics which may give an appearance of an agreement that would violate the antitrust laws are not discussed. It is the responsibility of each participant in the first instance to avoid raising improper subjects for discussion, notably such as those identified below.
It is the sole purpose of any meeting of this initiative to provide a forum for expression of various points of view on topics (i) that are strictly related to the purpose or the execution of the initiative, (ii) that need to be discussed among the participants of the initiative, (iii) that are duly mentioned in the agenda of this meeting and (iv) that are extensively described in the minutes of the meeting. Participants are strongly encouraged to adhere to the agenda. Under no circumstances shall this meeting be used as a means for competing companies to reach any understanding, expressed or implied, which restricts or tends to restrict competition, or in any way impairs or tends to impair the ability of members to exercise independent business judgment regarding matters affecting competition.
As a general rule, participants may not exchange any information about any business secret of their respective companies. In particular, participants must avoid any agreement or exchange of information on topics on the following non-exhaustive list:
Prices, including calculation methodologies, surcharges, fees, rebates, conditions, freight rates, marketing terms, and pricing policies in general;
any kind of market allocation, such as the allocation of territories, routes, product markets, customers, suppliers, and tenders;
production planning; marketing or investment plans; capacities; levels of production or sales; customer base; customer relationships; margins; costs in general; product development; specific R&D projects;
standards setting (when its purpose is to limit the availability and selection of products, limit competition, restrict entry into an industry, inhibit innovation or inhibit the ability of competitors to compete);
codes of ethics administered in a way that could inhibit or restrict competition;
group boycotts; validity of patents; ongoing litigations.

Budget for involved TDs (X2Rail-2, X2Rail-x)
TD NAME
TD Estimated budget (including EU funding and
Open Calls)
TD2.4 Fail-Safe Train Positioning (including satellite technology) 24.29 M€ TD2.5: On-board Train Integrity 9.95 M€ TD2.7: Formal methods and standardization for smart signalling systems 8.03 M€ TD2.9: Traffic management evolution 24.4 M€
X2Rail-2 is in the process of Grant Agreement
Preparation. It would start in September 2017, its
duration is 36 months

Fail-Safe Train Positioning (TD2.4 ≡ WP3)
• Development of a SIL 4 fail-safe, multi-sensor train
positioning system by applying GNSS technology to the current
ERTMS/ETCS core, by using new technologies (e.g. inertial
measurement units) into odometry and by also investigating
the localization based on TLC technologies.
• Standard and Interoperable Solution which guarantees
backward compatibility
• Cost effective solution by also enabling significant reduction in
all track-side conventional train detection components (balises,
track circuits, axle counters, etc.).
Main Project Objectives
9
On-Board Train Integrity (TD2.5 ≡ WP4)
• On-Board autonomously verification of the completeness of
the train, while train is in operation. When the loss of train
integrity is detected on-board, then, application of defined
actions and notification of the event to the Radio Block Center
via ERTMS/ETCS Kernel.
• SIL 4 solution at system level.
• On-Board Train Integrity contributes to the implementation of
Moving Block and leads to a significant advantage not only in
terms of capacity and shorter headways, but also in terms of
removal of trackside train detection systems, reduction of
maintenance costs and resiliency.
Main Project Objectives (cont.)
10
Formal Methods (TD2.7 ≡ WP5)
• Selection and application of formal methods for requirement
capture, design, verification and validation of railway
signalling systems and applying for development of signalling
systems with standardized interfaces and operational scenarios.
Formal specification - > Formal development -> Formal verification
• Standard interfaces (an orthogonal aspect to formal methods). • Formal Methods Application on Railway Test Cases. • Business case about the application formal methods on standard
interfaces.
Main Project Objectives
11
Traffic Management Evolution (TD2.9 ≡ WP6)
• Specification and development of an Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) environment to integrate all transport operational systems
through standardized open interfaces.
• Provide information available in the TMS via Web-Services to external clients
to generate and enhance support of new services and businesses.
• Specification and development of a standardized open Framework for
Business Applications allowing Plug and Play integration of business
applications.
• Automation of processes together with integration of asset status information
of wayside infrastructure, trains, maintenance service and energy resource
management and other data sources for enabling automated decision making
processes.
• Standardization and integration of processes applied on Operators
workstations to optimize the works in Traffic Control Centers and to reduce
failure rate in decision making caused by “non-automated” manual procedures..
