Although modern signalling systems are going to considerably reduce trackside equipment in the next years, a source of the innovation step proposed by the X2Rail-1 WP7 is to provide fully distributed control of remote trackside objects such as points, level crossings, etc., without requiring the necessity to install specialized trackside cabling and associated cable routes, ducting etc.

  • Translating Train Management to Norway
    Translating Train Management to Norway Lasse Gullvåg Sætre Master thesis at the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture Supervised by: Tone Druglitrø and Helge Ryggvik University of Oslo Norway, May 2017 I, Lasse Gullvåg Sætre, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract This thesis explores the transition of Norwegian rail signaling from me- chanically to digitally based systems, delving into the translations of the European standard ERTMS to Norwegian railways. Through digital, tech- nical and bureaucratic informants, this study investigates the preparations and makings of what promises to be one of the biggest revolutions in the technology to date. The ERTMS is a railway signaling technology, an EU political technology, and a case of digitalized European information infrastructures, known by many names, such as smart cities or intelligent services. Studied through the Norwegian railway system’s digital integra- tion towards Europe during the last 20 years, this thesis inquires into the material semiotic production of rail governance in the Norwegian context, as well as what it means to be an EEA member. From expert informers from the Norwegian infrastructure manager Jernbaneverket and its partial successor Bane NOR, through documents and field studies/interventions, the ways in which key players of the Norwegian and European railway sectors change are explored, mapping out the issue of signaling, and how players prepare for a transition that was always part of larger ideas of mo- bility, machines and governance, extending far out from rail space.

(Lucas) van der Hoeven Key concepts Digital Rail, Digital Railways, Rail Infrastructure, Dutch Rail Planning, Spatial Planning, Infrastructural Planning, Regional Competitiveness 2 Abstract Rail is an important means of transport for providing the opportunity for people to travel. Everyday about half a million people travel by train in the Netherlands. These travel movements are linked to the regional competitiveness of cities and regions. Therefore, the increase of the capacity of the interregional rail connections is often emphasised in policies. One of the current trends in the rail sector in order to reach this intensification of rail connections is the increasing use of digital solutions in the railways. Doing so is often referred to as the transition from analogue to “Digital Rail”. Therefore, this research aims for defining the concept of Digital Rail and examines the conditions in which the concept of Digital Rail can be a realistic alternative to part of the investments needed for the construction of new rail infrastructure and in what way cooperation with public and private parties play a role in this regard.

  • EULYNX Attracts Railways and Innovative Industry
    EULYNX attracts railways and innovative industry EULYNX provides the stable basis for the digitalisation of the railways; its potential is recognised both beyond Europe and beyond signalling. Frankfurt, September 24th, 2018 -- EULYNX is already well known to Innotrans visitors. In 2016 ERA Executive Director Dr. Josef Doppelbauer gave his key note to the EULYNX event on Innotrans. Signalling supply industry and senior railway executives responsible for Control Command and Signalling systems (CCS) had a lively exchange about the EULYNX standards. Already at this point in time, requests for more information were raised on a global level. What is EULYNX? A community of 13 EU railway infrastructure managers (IM) aiming to standardise the interfaces present in the CCS environment. Starting from the railway signalling systems as they are today, digitalisation requires to disconnect the lifecycles of interlockings, RBCs and control centres from the field elements like point, level crossing, train detection system, light signal, LEU and other signalling sub-systems. These interfaces have now been standardised in the EULYNX reference architecture. The EULYNX standards are available for free download on www.eulynx.eu. The comprehensive EULYNX interface specification standards are developed with the use of the system modelling language SysML. Thus, the weaknesses and ambiguity of a natural language in technical specification have been overcome by using formal specification. The EULYNX interface specifications are an inclusive standard, incorporating and managing variability of functions that differ from IM to IM due to different legal environments. In the past standards have been perceived as being either restrictive and hampering innovation or weak and of limited use.
