The pilot project "Digital S-Bahn Hamburg" shows how digitalization can improve the performance of urban transportation in growing cities. Read more about our Digital S-Bahn Hamburg and Germany's first implementation of ATO over ECTS at SIGNAL+DRAHT: www.eurailpress.de/sd

Proprietary solutions for an overall "interlocking" functionality are separated into functional interlocking logic and intrinsically safe outdoor control with standardized IP-based communication interfaces. This architectural change to the "Digital Interlocking" (DSTW) offers the possibility of complete centralization of safety-related railroad applications such as interlocking logic and RBC logic.
