Mistral: Modernising signalling at ProRail
With the Mistral programme, ProRail is at the beginning of a large operation: the complete renewal of the signalling infrastructure over the coming decades. This operation is also intended to incorporate planning for the large-scale replacement of the current ATB systems with ERTMS. The organisation is currently being set up to enable this process to proceed efficiently and effectively. Certain aspects of this are discussed in this article. In this way, ProRail is striving to realise, in a controlled project process, the necessary technological renewal within the technical operational life of the installations.
