SRC6SS Increase Safety in Regional Networks
Output type:
The push for greater efficiency in rail operations, with more trains running in less time, increases the risk of human error, particularly in manual safety-critical tasks. Assistance systems can help mitigate this risk, especially in rural areas where control centers oversee large territories. The challenge is to provide effective support without disrupting workflows while ensuring safety. In the R2DATO project, a decentralized Autonomous Route Setting (AnRS) approach is being developed to resolve potential train route conflicts dynamically, without changing existing infrastructure. The paper will explore the system architecture, autonomy criteria, and use real accident cases to show how AnRS could improve safety and efficiency.
