Urbanization, climate change, the pandemic and demographic changes are placing new demands on the mobility industry. Local and long-distance rail transportation are now increasingly the focus of attention for politicians and the public. The expansion of the rail systems in turn presents you as an operator with new challenges. Entire infrastructures have to be modernized, adapted or completely rebuilt in the shortest possible time. Our digital solutions can help you with this transformation process. They create a reliable basis for decision-making and advance the network expansion through digitization.

This white paper discusses the topic of asset management for large physical assets in the rail domain. Rail assets require large investments and are operated and maintained over decades. This means that rail assets are ideally positioned to benefit from the methodology and best practices of asset management.

When you listen to Peter Eckert and Nikolaos Papaiordanidis, you can sense their enthusiasm for their shared task of launching Mireo Plus H, the first hydrogen train from Siemens Mobility. Their work on the prototype for testing it under real operating conditions is the culmination of a year’s development that our interviewees helped shape in significant ways. We spoke to them about what really matters in modern trainsets, why this prototype is so interesting, and why it’s also an important part of a larger development.

Digitalization is the key to increased availability, automation, connectivity, and sustainability in rail infrastructure.

Many railroads worldwide use measuring trains to regularly inspect tracks. Continuous monitoring of all tracks, for example in the form of a daily measurement run, is of course not possible with these trains. This stands in contrast with devices such as smartphones with their integrated sensors, which can be used as a cost-effective and portable solution for track monitoring. The associated possibilities weresuccessfully demonstrated in a practical implementation at SBB.

With the advent of European Train Control System Level 3 (ETCS L3), Siemens Mobility has condensed the diverse set of related specifications, European working group analyses and solution proposals into a holistic onboard perspective on ETCS L3 operations. The technical implications for the train integrity device have been derived by employing a strict user perspective. Furthermore, this article hints at an ambiguity in the corresponding European railway Agency (ERA) solution proposal (CR940) which is rooted in the existing lack of a harmonised risk analysis for determining “safe train length”.

Many railroads around the world use measuring trains for regular inspection of the tracks. Continuous monitoring of all tracks, e.g. in the form of a daily measurement run, is naturally not possible with these trains. On the other hand, smartphones with their integrated sensors can be used for track monitoring in a cost-effective and mobile manner. In a practical application at SBB, the possibilities of this were successfully demonstrated.
