The FP6 FutuRe project invites stakeholders to a public dissemination workshop presenting the ATO GoA2 demonstrator for regional railways, developed within Task 8.1 and led by CAF in collaboration with ADIF, AZD, MerMec, OBB-INFRA.
The workshop will showcase key results from the development and testing of Automatic Train Operation (ATO) at Grade of Automation 2 (GoA2) over ERTMS, with a specific focus on regional line applications. Demonstration activities have been carried out in representative environments to validate selected use cases and assess the operational benefits of the solution.
Participants will gain insights into:
- ATO concept, with focus on Grade of Automation 2
- Demonstrated use cases tailored to regional line conditions
- System architecture and test setup
- Performance results from testing activities
- Key benefits such as energy efficiency and adhesion management
The session will also highlight the collaborative work between infrastructure managers, railway operators, and industry partners in delivering and validating the demonstrator.
The workshop is open to railway stakeholders, industry representatives, research organisations, and all parties interested in the future of digital and automated regional rail services
