Rail Automation

Today more than ever, speed, reliability, and convenience are the decisive factors for ensuring the desirability of modern mass-transit railways – and therefore for their commercial success. The key to meeting these criteria is optimum line utilization through railway automation. Did you know that Siemens Mobility can commission your equipment “in service”? Train services continue to operate reliably, to your passengers’ satisfaction, and your system remains highly cost-effective.

Level Crossing Protection Systems

Safety at level crossings is vital. The level-crossing protection systems installed by Siemens are always state-of-the-art, and function safely and reliably. The Siemens systems in service throughout the world demonstrate our expertise in the area of level-crossing technology.

Rail Communication

Railway operators face the challenge of guaranteeing efficient, safe, and punctual operation. Personnel and passengers alike need the right information at the right time and the right place. That’s why modern, efficient communications are a key element in managing rail traffic.

Electronic Interlockings

Electronic interlockings ensure that railways operate safely. They monitor and control train movements on the lines according to the operational requirements of the railway. Completely preassembled and tested interlockings, designed as modular containers, play a key role in cutting time and costs for installation and commissioning, and thereby help reduce investment costs.

Train Control Systems

Automatic train control systems continuously monitor all train movements and provide fail-safe signaling. In train operation with a driver, the train control system assists the driver with safety-relevant and operational functions. In driverless train operation, the train control system replaces the driver with maximum efficiency.

Operations Control Systems

With operations control systems, the operation of railways is centrally monitored and controlled. Ergonomic user interfaces and integrated automation functions allow optimum dispatching along with efficient operations management on lines and at stations.

Signaling Components

Signaling systems and railway automation components are crucial for the availability of the entire railway system. Siemens offers proven quality and innovative, environmentally friendly solutions for maximum availability and efficient railway operation.

Track Vacancy Detection

Track vacancy detection systems detect and signal whether line sections are clear or occupied, thereby creating the information base for a controlled track occupancy and for safe railway operation.

Tools

Our software tools for rail traffic assist you with a precise analysis and detailed planning of your projects.

Cargo

Rail freight traffic offers an alternative to road transport wherever it can provide a more reliable, more punctual, and lower-cost means of bringing cargo to its destination. For the railways, this means that traffic must be speeded up and handling times reduced. Modernization and automation of marshaling play a key role in this process.
