Model track area – planning of a digital signal box
The aim is to make the rail infrastructure future-proof in the near future. Digital signalling technology is laying the foundation for a new era in train control so that the urgently needed increases in rail capacity can be managed reliably and safely. The target digital signal box (DSTW) architecture is leading to the standardisation of all the signalling components down to the track area level, which should increase availability and reduce costs. The connection to the rail IP network (bbIP) using fibre optics is made on a redundant basis and also extends to the track area....
