Railways

Traditional rail transport is rapidly modernizing with the advancement of digitalization.

Digitalization shapes railways

Technological advancement and digitalization are driving the development of rail transport. As Europe moves toward greater compatibility in rail control and safety systems across countries (ERTMS), automation and digitalization are driving the industry towards fully autonomous operations.

The rail sector faces the same challenges as other smart infrastructure: ensuring cybersecurity, promoting sustainable development, and seamlessly integrating ICT with traditional technologies.

Trams challenge urban planning

Tramway projects are complex urban planning undertakings that require effective management of space and street areas, as well as the smooth flow of traffic and intermodal coordination.

From a technology perspective, successful tramway planning demands an understanding of the compatibility of multiple technical systems and the integration of electrical, data networks, and lighting systems into the broader urban infrastructure.
