{"product_id":"etcs-for-engineers-von-ian-mitchell","title":"ETCS for Engineers","description":"European Train Control System (ETCS) is now a well-established standard manufactured by multiple suppliers and installed widely on trains and tracks in Europe and around the world.\n\nHigh level information about ETCS is readily available in magazine articles and websites, and the detailed specifications are also publicly available from the European Agency for Railways (ERA). Our aim with this book is to fill the gap between these, explaining the background and technical detail in a manner that will be understandable to an engineer who is new to ETCS.\n\nThe main topics of the book are:\n•\tIntroduction to ETCS, its history, stakeholders, governance, benefits\n•\tConcepts and functionality, including levels, modes, operational scenarios\n•\tConstituents and interfaces, on the track and on the train\n•\tDeployment in projects, testing, certification, training and entry into service\n\nReaders of this book will include:\n•\tStudents and early career professionals, including those studying for qualifications such as the IRSE Advanced Diploma in Railway Control Engineering and the Certificate in Railway Control Engineering Fundamentals\n•\tSignal engineers encountering ETCS is a project for the first time\n•\tEngineers working in specific ETCS roles who need a wider understanding of the system\n•\tRailway operations staff involved with changes to operational rules and training for the deployment of ETCS\n•\tRailway managers and consultants interested in the opportunities and challenges that ETCS can bring to their strategies for railway development or renewals\n\nThis book has been prepared by a working group of the Institution of Railway Signal Engineering (IRSE) drawing on experience from a wide range of engineers who have worked for railways and suppliers as the system has been developed. \nThe IRSE is the professional institution for all those engaged in railway signalling and telecommunications, train control, traffic management and allied professionals, with 5,000 members around the world.\n\nRailway signalling is responsible for managing the safe flow of train traffic, and modern systems are based on digital track to train communications. Implementing this technology on the complex European railway network has required the development of a standard interoperable solution that is applicable to all types of railway traffic and allows trains to operate across national borders.\n \nBonus for free: The e-book-PDF of this book is available upon registration. Users of devices with a PDF reader will have electronic access to all content through a search function.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783962452711\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Mehrteiliges Produkt - 9783962452711","offer_id":56967106593093,"sku":"9783962452711","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/94328d26-641a-40ae-82ad-05825297e084.jpg?v=1780983482","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/etcs-for-engineers-von-ian-mitchell","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
