Dan Woywod, Head of Railway Technology at the German Railway Industry Association (VDB), shares his insights into how Germany’s use of ATO with ETCS will optimise both urban mobility and regional operations, as the country strives to digitalise its entire rail network by 2035.
The new signalling system represents an increase in safety and reliability for the Humanes-Monfragüe railway section, as well as the quality of sustainable travel between stations.
Many backbone communication networks fall short on multiple fronts for FRMCS transport. This whitepaper identifies the gaps and articulates how to meet new requirements.
An agreement has been signed between RB Rail AS and an international consortium for the control-command and signalling engineering and works supervision for the Rail Baltica project.
A Railway Industry Association (RIA) report has highlighted how Britain's East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP) should lead the way for a national digital signalling programme and other major schemes.
Keir Fitch, Head of Unit Rail Safety & Interoperability in DG MOVE, European Commission, explains the intricacies of implementing the FRMCS and the significant benefits for rail that will come with the use of the new 5G technology and architecture.
Axel Schuppe, General Manager of the German Railway Industry Association (VDB), heralds the arrival of FRMCS and explains just why this innovation is crucial to achieving the future rail service that passengers deserve.
Nicholas Shrimpton, UNIFE Technical Affairs Manager, discusses how the introduction of digitalisation and automation in rail will become central for the deployment of both FRMCS, and future broadband applications, far beyond today’s GSM-R.
Markku Voutilainen, Senior Inspector Project Manager at the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (FTIA), delves into the topic of safety related communications across Finland’s rail network, exploring the complexities of preparing for FRMCS while facing uncertainty around specification and implementation timelines, while marking the technological step forward it will mean for…
Nordic Re-Finance is set to upgrade the on-board signalling technology of its TMe fleet of locomotives operating in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark with Hitachi Rail’s new ERTMS+STM system.
The ETCS Level 2 upgrade by Siemens Mobility will ensure the train fleet can operate with a greater degree of efficiency whilst meeting the latest European standards for rail safety interoperability.
Network Rail’s train testing centre successfully completed dynamic testing of the ETCS on rolling stock last month.
Viper Innovations’ Engineering and Service teams have again been on-hand to provide critical support to Network Rail as they push to modernise maintenance and deliver safe, efficient and effective interventions to locate signalling power cable faults quickly and accurately before they become service affecting.
Alstom has secured signalling contracts for the Bandirma–Bursa–Yenisehir–Osmaneli railway project and the Cekmekoy-Sancaktepe-Sultanbeyli metro line.
