Digital station solutions and railway communication

• Improved travel experience with intermodal trip planning and accurate journey information in case of disruptions via HaCon travel applications
• In-app station guidance for passenger
• WiFi connectivity at stations and on trains
• Improved travel comfort by providing passengers with information about predicted passenger train load via travel apps and platform displays

• Option for the integration of an operations control center for signaling and station management 
• Digital Station Manager (available as a cloud-based solution) software integrates legacy and new station management systems for improved synchronization of station operations
• Optimized train load and capacity utilization as a first step towards responsive mobility
• Optimized capacity utilization increases throughput by 5%
• Decrease dwell time and unplanned prolonged stops at stations

• Reduced Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) thanks to the modular and flexible design of the Digital Station Manager
• Innovative system configuration with the option of being offered as a Software-as-a-Service
• Up to 20% Operating Expenditure (OPEX) savings with optimized sub-systems and reduced energy consumption

Digital Station Manager combines SCADA, PIS/PA and CCTV functionalities into one single system with the option of future integration into ATS systems (e.g. Rail9000). This integration facilitates the information exchange, coordination and interaction between the different subsystems – allowing them to act as a single unit. The station/line operator is provided with one common HMI that is able to monitor and control all the different subsystems. Siemens Digital Station Manager can be supplied as a cloud-based solution to optimize CAPEX and enable faster participation in innovation cycles.

Siemens Digital Station can integrate mobile timetable apps, such as HaCon HAFAS, with the PIS infrastructure in stations. This enables the effective guidance of passengers, including the last mile to and from the train station. With the Siemens Digital Station Capacity solution, operators can obtain exact data about passenger numbers in real-time and indicate to passengers the load of arriving trains. A forecasting module based on self-learning software can predict passenger numbers throughout the day and improve the capacity adjustment of the train service as well as optimize the throughput of the line.

Originally designed and engineered for high-end radio transmission on the Shanghai Maglev, Siemens Traincom has been constantly developed into the leading product for radio transmission for mass transit applications. As one integrated broadband radio system, it can simultaneously transmit various data applications while guaranteeing a degree of security and reliability of up to 99.9995%. With a large global installed base, Traincom serves to transmit operational services such as real-time CCTV transmission as well as passenger services like on-board PIS, passenger WiFi, and online advertising.
