Future trends
Railway transport has various segments (from LRV, Metros, Commuter up to high
speed) and markets (from Amerika, Asia up to versatile areas in Europe), where
trends are developing differently under individual social and political conditions.
We would like to focus the following presentation on major aspects of the
Regional and Intercity traffic in central Europe on the basis of Double Deck trains.
Main questions are:
How to solve the increase of passengers ?
How to improve comfort level in new/existing trains ?
How to find economical solutions for different passenger capacity per train ?
How to improve boarding time on stations with maximum seat capacity ?
How to re-use or combine existing with new rolling stock generations ?
How to replace old national train protection systems with ERTMS ?

Due to
increase of mobility in the society,
long term increase of fuel cost and
attractive modern rolling stock
attractive time tables (one hour model)
increasing performance of new trains
more passengers are using the public
transport. The own car isn’t a status symbol
for young generation anymore
For example: an increase of only 2% p.a. in a 400-seats train will increase the
demand for seat capacity by 128 seats after 15 years, which is an additional car !
Modern rolling stock should consider the long term capacity increase and the
advantages of flexibility in the train design for Total Cost of Ownership TCO.

Flexibility of train platforms

EMU from 2 to 8 cars
Loco hauled push-pull train
from 2 to 10 cars
Especially operators with larger fleets are requesting for standard vehicles to be used
in different segments (Regional and InterCity, short or long trains, different entrance
situation). TWINDEXX Vario with its single cars is providing these opportunities.
Modern trains can be either used as Loco hauled (D, E) or EMU depending on
operational needs. Flexibility in train length is a must.

Improvements of capacity and boarding time
Typical low floor entrance cars with 600 mm entrance height are providing a
level entrance (often 1,3 m wide). This car is the best solution for multifunctional
or handicapped areas due to direct / stepless access to the lower floor.
6
According to Prof. Weidmann (ETH Zürich) the boarding time can be improved with wider
doors and larger areas in the car behind the door (as a buffer area).
The high entrance car is not only providing a higher seat capacity per car,
but also a wider door (1,8 m) and increased area for standees behind
the door. Most of passengers wouldn’t mind the extra step.
Modern trains combine different solutions for all passengers based on
optimized boarding conditions at a maximum capacity.

Re-use of existing fleet
Many operators with existing fleet (mainly loco hauled trains) have the problem:
How to re-use the existing fleet under modern requirements ?
Due to new norms & standards, new requirements (multi traction) and increased safety
levels most of existing conventional train control systems will be obsolete.
Bombardier has developed the TWINDEXX Vario with 2 train control lines on board:
1. Conventional push-pull control ZWS/FMZ to operate the train in mixed configurations
with existing locos or cars. Limited double traction is possible.
2. New train control based on modern TCMS system with WTB in new cars. Loco can be
replaced by 1-2 driven cab cars and built up an EMU. Flexible multi-traction is possible.
7
Modern trains can operate with existing cars based on mixed configurations

Bicycles
10
The increasing mobility of especially young passengers with bicycles requires
different car layouts than in the past.
The multifunctional area of a low entrance car can be designed in new or
retrofitted into existing cars in different solution:
smaller areas in different cars or larger area in one car
with or without folding seats on the side
with or without handrails or special supporting elements
with or without internal doors

car layout
with 30

Introduction of ERMTS
ETCS is becoming real in many European countries within the next years.
Various trains incl. TWINDEXX Vario, TWINDEXX Express and TRAXX-locomotives
already equipped with ETCS (mainly SRS 2.3.0d).
Actual specification base Baseline 3.4.0 is released in 2015 (but already CR identified);
homologation expected for different trains in 2016-2018; Baseline 3.4.0 is a temporarily
step
Expected final version of Baseline 3.5.0 is part of the actual development road map
within Bombardier and can be offered as long as the specification is approved.
New TSI for CCS is in final discussion and expected to be approved by countries in 2015
It takes still a long time when all countries have switched over to ERTMS only (to save
conventional ATP systems) and needs long time for introduction of Level 3 (no antennas
in the track anymore), but new vehicles should be prepared for it.
11
Today:
Baseline 2 SRS 2.3.0d in realisation in different trains
2015:
Baseline 3 SRS 3.4.0 released and in tender process, realisation 2016-2018
2016:
Baseline 3 SRS 3.5.0 to be released
Modern trains must be equipped (or at least prepared) for ETCS Baseline 3.4.0
