The European Train Control System (ETCS) rail signalling and train speed control system has been tested at European level since 2000 and is one of the major components of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). ETCS relies on Cybels KMC Rail, the cryptogra...

Train operators and owners had the chance to experience for themselves the latest on-board train control system by Thales…

•    The project, based on leading-edge technologies, sets standards for digitizing railways in Germany and Europe •    This high tech signalling will offer better punctuality and enabling more trains to travel without having to build a si...

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is pushing ahead with the modernisation of the country’s rail network, with an investment plan to turn railroads within 500 kilometres of Bangkok into an electric system. The first phase of this modernisation started with upgrades to...

The project focuses on ensuring that more trains can travel through the network safely and at higher speeds thanks to the implementation of cutting edge technology.

10 years of the Madrid Barcelona high-speed line.

Could avionics and satellite technology hold the key to the future of main line signalling? Aerospace technology is not usually something associated with railways. But that could be about to change.

Today's main line signalling systems are based on interlockings, an overlay of ETCS Level 1 or Level 2 and a Traffic Management System. In our vision this system structure will evolve significantly.

The North-South Railway (NSR) project in Saudi Arabia is the world's largest railway construction and the longest route to adopt the European signaling system (ETCS level 2).

The new tunnel is the final section of the transalpine rail corridor that will link Zurich and Milan in less than three hours journey time.
