Illustrative data pipeline · Not a real railway signalling system

CONCEPT / VISUAL STUDY
SCROLL FOR THE STORY ↓

01 / THE CONTEXT

The challenge.

Railway signaling specifications carry complex relationships between messages, packets and variables; the engineering task was to turn them into a consistent, inspectable reference dataset.

02 / MY ROLE

Work with
purpose.

ERTMS Railway Data Analysis & Structuring Intern at JBS Business Services, July–August 2026.

03 / ENGINEERING NOTES

01

Analyzed public ERTMS/ETCS specifications, with emphasis on Movement Authority Message 3 and relevant packets.

02

Prepared normalized reference datasets and a structured data dictionary using Python, Pandas, Excel and CSV/JSON.

03

Drafted 10 prototype validation rules and technical documentation for early-stage V&V support.

04 / HIGH-LEVEL SYSTEM

From idea to structure.

Public-facing conceptual overview — not a disclosure of internal implementation.

06 / MOTION STUDY

See the concept.

Fifteen seconds along a fictional railway: a position reference, a radio exchange, a structured Movement Authority, and a train that stays within its limit. An original illustration of public ETCS Level 2 concepts.

POSITION / 0–3 SEC

A reference along the railway.

The train passes a fictional Eurobalise. Onboard ETCS uses the balise group as a positioning reference, together with onboard odometry.

READY00.0s / 15.0s

Simplified public ERTMS/ETCS concepts, fictional railway positions, and illustrative movement only. Not a real signalling or braking-system simulation.

07 / TRAINING RECORD

Learning the language of rail.
