SRC6SS Driving the future of autonomous train operation

Feb 9, 2025

Output type:

The implementation of fully automated train operation (ATO) up to Grade of Automation 4 (GoA4) marks a major advancement in the railway industry, offering key benefits such as reduced energy consumption, lower operating costs, and improved service quality. These improvements enhance the attractiveness of public transport and align with the vision of a fully automated rail system based on European Train Control System (ETCS) standards. This work focuses on the GoA3/4 reference architecture from the X2Rail-4 project and the development of intelligent algorithms for optimizing speed and automatic tracking control.
