How can ETCS braking curves be adapted to a more realistic behaviour of the rolling stock?

The aim of this workshop is to inform about generic changes on the adaptation of ETCS Braking curves to better reflect real train behaviour. 

We will look at the changes already performed and finalised for Baseline 4 Release 1 (System Version 3.0) in the CCS TSI 2023 as well as the ones already identified and logged into the ERTMS Change Requests’ database, with the aim to possibly further improve either the performance of the overall system (including the possibility to remove/minimise the need for usage of Release Speed when approaching the End of Movement Authority) or the ergonomics of the associated display towards the driver. 

High-level description of such changes, including videos/simulations of possible solutions, will be provided, followed by a short discussion. However, experience is also demonstrating that some of the issues are related to the configuration of vehicles in order to meet the model parameters. Therefore, the discussion part will also focus on sharing experience about the setting-up of vehicles. It will be an excellent opportunity for participants to share further concerns or verified less known issues.
