Integrating a new level crossing protection technology into the Fast Track Program at DB Netz

December 2022 | Editor

In the course of standardizing the planning and implementation of future projects in the field of control and safety technology (LST) at DB Netz AG, with the aim of shortening the lead time to commissioning, the client has awarded seven projects in the Fast Track Program (SLP) to test the acceleration to commissioning of the new interlockings on the basis of the NeuPro concept (realignment of production control), which has been transferred to Digital Rail Germany (DSD). In three of these projects, Pintsch GmbH is building the required interfaces as well as the level crossing protection technology to the electronic interlockings (D(E)STW). Depending on the type of interlocking (with / without SCI-LX interface), the connection is made via copper cable or Ethernet (RaSTA). The new processes, as well as the technologies, are the economic response of DB Netz AG as well as Pintsch GmbH to the challenges of the control and safety technology of the future.
