With the implementation of communication-based train control (CBTC) and other cutting-edge signalling techniques, the market for railway signalling systems is anticipated to experience substantial expansion.
Additionally, systems for standardising train control that is put in place to increase the efficiency and safety of rail traffic have a significant impact on the market expansion.
Global demand for CBTC systems is rising due to increased investment in urban transportation, notably in railway networks, for effective rail traffic management.
The need to replace or update its rolling equipment is being driven by an increase in the number of passengers, increased operator rivalry, and elevated standards of comfort.
Signaling equipment upgrading is essential to enhancing network capacity and safety given the increased utilisation of the current infrastructure.
The Africa Rail Signaling Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
At three South African train stations, Siemens Mobility has installed and operationalized an automated signalling system. The three stations are Pretoria, Braamfontein, and Johannesburg Park Station.
One of the biggest stations in Africa, Johannesburg Park Station has 114 sets of points, 129 signals, and 16 operable platforms. Pretoria has 105 signals and 69 sets of points, compared to Braamfontein’s 87 signals and 67 sets of points.
Siemens observed that there were few commuter service interruptions when the new system went online at all three stops. Modern signalling and interlocking systems will boost productivity, boost operating frequency, and cut down on delays.
In order to commission and install new signalling and control systems across Gauteng, Siemens Mobility and PRASA have been collaborating.
