L12000 ATP
The L12000 ATP from Ansaldo STS Sweden is an affordable ATP system for all
kinds of railway or transit systems and makes your railway or transit
system perform more with less. It brings safety to operations, without
decreasing efficiency and is ideal for retrofitting, with the option for future
upgrade to radioblock for continuous transmission.
L12000 ATP functions:
The 2-out-of-3 or 2-out-of-2 vital processors with discrete logic I/O
architecture of L10000 have been superseded by a single 2-out-of-2 vital
processors configuration in a cluster with dedicated I/O processors and
non-vital slaves.
The system is modular and can be both HW and SW configured for different
applications:
- Intermittent and continuous data transfer
- Braking curves calculated to individual train characteristics
- Multiple braking curves
- Full supervision over multiple blocks
- Ergonomic driver's panel
- Service brake and emergency brake
- Special functions (door control, etc)

L15000 ATP
Ansaldo STS Sweden has been entrusted with the task of developing an STM
(Specific Transmission Module) for the Nordic countries: Sweden, Norway (ATC2)
and Finland (JKV). Once in service, the STM will allow total flexibility in the
operation of trains on the networks under conversion to ERTMS, thereby
representing a cornerstone in the Nordic ERTMS migration strategy.
Introducing L15000 takes ATP technology one step further by combining the
experience from L10000 and L12000 into a revised hardware architecture,
particularly suitable for interfacing with ERTMS/ETCS onboard systems
(EVC).
The L15000 system is made up of a high performing vital architecture in a
2-out-of-2 configuration optimised for ATP functionality. Structured as an
add-on module to an onboard ERTMS system, it serves the purpose of an interface
between the existing ATP national system and the ERTMS system. This facilitates
operation on both existing lines and new ERTMS lines, including seamless
transition between the two types of ATP domains.
The L15000 platform represents the very latest stage in a continuously on-going
development strategy, starting from the original well-known L10000 ATP platform
employed since the late 70’s, and currently in use on the majority of the fleet
throughout the Swedish and Norwegian rail networks. L10000 has consistently
demonstrated its flexibility and adaptability in several applications
throughout the world, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, USA, Australia and
Malaysia, and ensures the conversion of the Nordic rail networks to CENELEC
standards.
The basic L15000 architecture can then be adapted to individual customer needs.
Such adaptation may include a separate Driver's Panel which, if necessary, can
be used as a dedicated DMI.
A further adaptation is the possibility to choose between a Transmission
Unit and a dedicated 'Interface K' Unit to BV/JBV/RHK specification. This
enables integrated operation with an ERTMS/ETCS system designed to the same
interface standard, thus eliminating the need for two separate antennas.
