Abstract

Due to the long-time separation of the national rail systems, the railway transport is differentiated in technical, operational and organizational solutions. Overcoming technical barriers is obligatory to obtain a competitive railway transport system. Such a system is necessary mainly for the long-distance international freight transportation. Therefore, to achieve Schengen effect in railway transport, European Train Control System has been created as a unified solution. The article points at challenges associated with the implementation of the system and proposes solutions aimed at overcoming them. The key challenges are as follows: the interfacing between existing signalling and control command (vital), the long transition period trackside and on-board causing multi-system operation (to be reduced), the influence on vital operational procedures which are key for transport safety (to be controllable), the minimising influence on cost of railway upgrading projects (to be reasonable). The article analyses possible activities, defines criteria for comparison and points at those which should be undertaken.
