The 'ETCS Interlocking'

摘要

The smartrail 4.0 industry program aims to make railway production significantly cheaper and more efficient through the use of modern technology. To this end, all the so-called "game changers" (ETCS cab signalling, safe mobile localisation, FRMCS, automatic rescheduling, ATO, etc.) have been combined in a modern, lean and open architecture, smartrail 4.0 is an open concept whose specifications are released for open use in the product market or in self-developed products upon completion. The basic technologies available today have been combined across the industry's sectors to help develop new high-performance products and innovative vendors in the marketplace. The "ETCS interlocking" is one of the six programs in the Swiss smartrail 4.0 industry program. It aims to achieve a completely new generation of interlocking systems, which will enable a reduction of trackside assets by up to 70%, a high degree of centralisation of the indoor facilities and a halving of the development costs. The resulting cost reduction is correspondingly high in that this can also account for up to 70 % of the annual budget for the provision of control and safety systems depending on the initial situation.
