Description

Rail transportation offers a lot of advantages in terms of environmental impact and safety. The ongoing improvement of the rail traffic management is crucial to respond to dynamic growth of transportation turnover. The gradual replacement of existing signalling systems with more reliable, cost-effective and innovative technologies will lead to increased efficiency and safety of passenger and freight transportation. The study gives the detailed overview of the train control systems, interlocking, wayside equipment and train detection in usage in European rail network. It also discussed the key drivers, restrains, challenges and trends of the European signalling systems market.
