System concepts for HST-systems

For a suitable radio system concept in train applications, some key facts are important: 1. Track topology:
The radio coverage is highly dependant from the track topology and the track environment.
2. 3.
Tunnel:
How many tunnel sections/stations are to be considered for the track.
Infrastructure:
What infrastructure is available alongside the track (e.g. masts, data network backbone, power supply).
4. 5. 6.
Trains (number and configuration):

How many trains are to be considered? What kind of configuration they have?
Data rate:
What is the mandatory data rate for all data services (peak/average).
Availability/coverage:
Which availability and constant radio coverage is required in the overall system concept to provide the data services.
Different infrastructure concepts

Some scenarios:
1. Worst Case:
No available infrastructure (green field approach). The complete TRainCom radio system must be built up from scratch ( very low antenna mast distance < 2,5 km).
2. Bad Case:
No available infrastructure, but average mast distance is increased to a realistic value of 4 km.
3. Low Infra:
Antenna masts e.g. for GSM-R are partly available for antenna installation. Additional masts and complete cable infrastructure must be built up. (Mast distance ~ 4 km)
4. Medium Infra:
Available masts and cable infrastructure. Some additional masts and Infrastructure to be considered.
5. Good Infra (like GSM-R):

Sufficient available infrastructure (Mast, Power and Backbone) useable for TRainCom, due to similar radio propagation like GSM-R.

Conclusion
By using available infrastructure the invest costs (CAPEX) for TRainCom can be significantly reduced. The TRainCom radio system provides real broadband radio links for passenger and operational data services simultaneously. Its capability can be used to provide additional services (advertisement) to refinance its costs. Increasing passenger figures by improved train attractivity will generate additional revenues.
The TRainCom system concept provides additional potential/resources for future growth.
Usage of a hybrid radio solution with narrow band services (e.g. GSM) is recommended to extend the services into low density areas or to cover ancillary tracks.

Conclusion on hybrid solutions

TRainCom HST radio systems are optimized for various passenger data services including high volume applications and can also support all services of the train operator.
Due to acceptable costs for the low volume data transmission and the wide coverage of the GSM network, a hybrid system part is an ideal partner to complement data services of a TRainCom radio system. Further it will also enable a rapid coverage of the entire rail network of a rail operator at least with a with a basic system performance, prior to the implementation of TRainCom system parts. For all low traffic rail tracks (e.g. ancillary tracks) a hybrid GSM service is a very cost effective solution. TRainCom HST complements a public network in critical areas where no coverage is given (e.g. tunnels, stations, etc.)
HST- simple business model
Hypothesis: Every passengers pays 1 additional Euro per ticket (= 2%). (Assumption Ticket price = about 50.- / 250 km)
Calculation: Daily usage 100.000 passengers 100.000 Pax * 360 Tage * 1 = 36 Mio. / p.a.
With 36 Mio. per year and an average interest rate of 8% you can finance
about 400 Mio. invest.

The risks of mixing public and operational networks?
What are the modifications required to utilize this system with an
existing signaling system?

IP transparent interface is provided

Conversion of serial interfaces into IP Services offered free of charge. (Financed by advertisement) Services offered with service fee (Hot spot)
