Train numbers key-in per SMS
In collaboration with DB Netz AG, Thales Deutschland, Business Area Ground Transportation Systems has developed a procedure for dialling train numbers into the train describer system via a GSM-R rail mobile radio communication system using the Short Message Service (SMS). Therefore, cost-intensive line-bound devices can be dispensed with. The new procedure was first implemented within the framework of a pilot project in Alzey.
