Elimination Relay Technology with Urgency
Description
Viewed from the traditional signalling technology with relays and light signals, ERTMS is seen as the solution for more capacity, availability and safety on the railways, at lower (maintenance) costs. ERTMS offers the possibility to implement train safety in 21st century technology once and for all. To achieve these goals, the necessary challenges in ERTMS still need to be overcome. In this meeting, KIVI Department of Rail Systems will take you on a brisk walking tour via CBTC and ERTMS Level 2, to the (currently) highest Level of ERTMS, ERTMS Level 3, with some renowned speakers as your guide. The speakers will explain, from their personal experience, which challenges have already been overcome, and how far we really are from ERTMS Level 3 as a proven technology
