Automated Train Driving
Automated train driving systems control train operations with reduced or no human intervention, improving efficiency, safety and energy use. These solutions range from driver assistance to fully driverless operations, depending on the automation grade (GoA). Suppliers in this category offer technologies for mainline, metro and light rail networks, including onboard automation, communication interfaces and central control integration.
-
Complete Train Control
Complete train control systems integrate multiple subsystems to manage train movement, safety and performance across the rail network. These solutions combine signalling, onboard control, automatic train protection (ATP), train detection and communication systems into a unified platform. Suppliers in this category provide end-to-end train control solutions for mainline, metro and high-speed rail applications.
-
Level Crossing Protection
Level crossing protection systems control access for vehicles and pedestrians at rail crossings to prevent accidents and ensure safe train passage. These solutions include barriers, warning lights, audible alerts, train detection systems and remote monitoring. Suppliers in this category offer technologies that enhance crossing safety, comply with national regulations and reduce the risk of collisions.
-
Panels & Displays
Panels and displays are used in signalling control rooms and on trains to present real-time operational data to staff and operators. These include control panels, signal repeaters, driver displays and workstation screens. Suppliers in this category offer visual interface solutions that support safe, efficient train movement and network supervision.
-
Points Control
Points control systems manage the movement of railway turnouts (points), allowing trains to switch tracks safely and efficiently. These systems may be manual, remotely operated or fully automated, and are critical to both route setting and signalling integration. Suppliers in this category provide point machines, control interfaces, monitoring systems and diagnostic tools for mainline and metro applications.
-
Remote Control Signalling
Remote control signalling systems allow operators to manage signalling equipment, points and route settings from a centralised or remote location. These systems improve network efficiency, reduce the need for trackside interventions and enable real-time control and monitoring. Suppliers in this category provide remote control interfaces, communication links and integration with central traffic management systems.
-
Signalling Installation · Maintenance
Signalling installation and maintenance services ensure that railway signalling systems are correctly deployed and kept in safe, reliable working condition. This includes the installation of trackside equipment, cabling, control systems and safety interfaces, as well as routine inspections, diagnostics, repairs and system upgrades. Suppliers in this category provide complete signalling lifecycle support for mainline, metro and light rail networks.
