Trains can travel safely across the network thanks to signalling, which is an essential component of the railway system. Signals are crucial for ensuring that trains operate according to schedule, allowing for greater stopping periods, and maintaining a safe distance between them.
The signals not only direct traffic, but they also provide train drivers with information on whether to move forward, halt, or notify passengers of delays. Trackside signals are used by the majority of signalling systems to direct drivers and regulate the safe passage of trains.
Different colours are displayed on a colour light signal to approve train operations. Many feature extra signs that reflect the train’s intended path and the direction it must travel. The relevant data is shown to the driver via modern signalling systems in the train cab.
The Austria Rail Signaling Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Thales is used by ÖBB to provide the freight train bypass with cutting-edge signalling equipment. The first piece of the ÖBB network operating without light signals is the freight train bypass.
The efficiency of the line has enhanced while maintenance expenses have decreased thanks to saving the signals. Since the signalling is not affected by outside factors, it is possible to operate without interruption, for instance, during inclement weather.
These are crucial elements for freight transit to win out over road traffic in a world with increasingly quick-moving transportation options. The best option for achieving this grand goal is a line without light signals.
Their engineers used a rare variety of skills to install the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 on the line, enabling rail operation without light. Radio communication is used to send and receive information continually from and to the train.
The operation control centre and electronic interlocking are always aware of the precise location of freight trains on the bypass and are able to send the necessary secured movement authorities. Thus, freight trains transiting this stretch today and in the future will be as secure and efficient as possible thanks to the Thales ETCS Level 2 system.
