Zielsetzung von ETCS ist die Schaffung einer harmonisierten europäischen Zugbeeinflussung. Die Standardisierung bezieht sich insbesondere auf die InformationsĂ¼bertragung zwischen Fahrweg und Fahrzeug (Luft-Schnittstellen). Die Ă¼ber die Komponenten des ETCS-Systems zu Ă¼bertragenden Informationen können meist aus den vorhandenen Sicherungsanlagen gewonnen bzw. erzeugt werden.The objective of ETCS is to create a harmonized European train control. The standardization relates in particular to the transmission of information between the infrastructure and the vehicle (air interfaces). The information to be transmitted via the components of the ETCS system can usually be obtained or generated from the existing safety systems.
ETCS wird in unterschiedlichen AusrĂ¼stungsstufen bzw. Funktionsstufen - sogenannte Levels - unterschieden. Die Definition des Levels hängt davon ab, wie die Strecke ausgerĂ¼stet ist und auf welche Art Informationen auf den Zug Ă¼bertragen werden.

The definition of the level depends on how the track is equipped and how information is transferred to the train. In principle, the driver's license and the corresponding route information is transmitted to the train and displayed to the locomotive driver in the driver's cab.
