Railway Interoperability on European Tracks
In the European Union in 2020, rail transported around 1.4 billion tonnes of freight and 4.2 billion passengers. These numbers represent the magnitude of importance of the railway in the transportation sector. They would not be achieved if not for the robust engineering of the signaling systems.
Trains are usually intended to operate on different railway lines, corridors, and various countries, many times including cross-border sections, which require multiple pre-conditions to be met. These conditions, put together, allow for seamless transportation for passengers and transport of goods.
While it is in the passengers’ interest to commute effortlessly, it is on the engineering side to design safety-related systems that properly communicate with each other and exchange information. In advanced signaling systems like the European Train Control System (ETCS), the backbone of efficient and robust systems is interoperability.
