CLASSICAL SIGNALLING & ERTMS

In this course, a focus will be given to signalling equipment, a critical element for railways safety. The first part of the course will be dedicated to traditional signalling, both trackside and on board. At the end of the module, the European standard ERTMS will be introduced

Urban and demographic growth, environmental concerns and a rising demand for mobility are some of the factors that favor the expansion of rail networks internationally. Despite the critical economic turmoil related to COVID19 affecting many industries, the rail industry continues to occupy a prominent place in the global economy, with an increasing number of projects around the world. Initiatives are being developed to encourage innovation and modernize rail transport systems and infrastructures, both in urban settings and on national and international levels.
