The fact that engineering firms are on board is an important step for the realization of ERTMS in the Netherlands. Mapping the area The firms map the entire area to determine where new components should be placed in and around the track. For example new cables and pipes must be laid for ERTMS. Based on exploration and research we are working towards a design that a contractor can ultimately work on. We will not be doing any digging or construction in the coming years. Arcadis and Haskoning will first map the entire area. This way we know where there are bottlenecks that we need to take into account in the final design says Anita Vesters project manager ERTMS Zeeuwse Lijn.About ERTMS in ZeelandThe Zeeuwse line is part of the ERTMS program. This is a program of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management that digitizes rail and brings it into the future. It is a major change for the rail sector. Systems on and around the track and in trains must be replaced. Staff from all parties involved must also learn to work with ERTMS. That is why ProRail carriers and their suppliers are working intensively together on the rollout of ERTMS: as efficiently as possible and with an eye for the impact on the environment and society. Why ERTMS? ProRail will replace the current train safety system ATB with ERTMS in the coming years. The abbreviation ERTMS stands for European Rail Traffic Management. It is the standard for train security in Europe and the digital rail platform of the future. By choosing one standard European system Dutch rail will be even better connected to the rest of Europe in the future.
