Developments in Train Control and Evolution of System Integration in France |
by Christian Sevestre (SNCF)
at the IMechE, 1 Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ, UK commencing at 18.00 Hours (Tea 17.30 Hours) |

| The International Technical Convention this year will take place in Lyon, France in June, and will be led Christian Sevestre who will become the IRSE President at the Annual General Meeting in April. |
| This paper will set the scene for the Convention, describing the existing train control systems and giving an overview of the recent and future developments (ERTMS, NExT) in France. It will show how the train control systems for mass transit and very busy suburban lines are converging and how the centralisation of control centres is deeply changing the operating management of main lines. |
| The paper will also give the latest information about the evolution of the French railway system, focusing on system integration from different points of view - technical, organisational - services to the customer - infrastructure manager / railway undertakings - intermodality - sustainability. |
