Greetings from Technische Universität Dresden! Today and tomorrow I am attending a conference regarding Control Command and Signalling (CCS) systems. We discuss the most recent technological, political and strategical developments, such as: – Digitalisation of railway– Advanced Protection System (APS)– European Train Control System (ETCS)– Automatic train operation (ATO)– …and many more topics.
Wishing you a wonderful start into the week! For my fellow railway enthusiasts: This is the Enztal-bridge, with 1044 m the longest bridge on the highspeed railway between Stuttgart and Mannheim.

Railway operators are already experimenting with painting rails with white color to reduce the heat impact. I think this issue gets more and more…
