Today I’ve registered for attending the “CNA Forum Bahn+BahnTechnik 2024” conference with the title “Unlocking the opportunities of railtech”

CNA Forum Bahntechnik | CNA – Center for transportation & logistics Neuer Adler e.V. (c-na.de)

My personal focus for the conference will be the topics around the digitalisation of the railways and how to develop the systems in a secure way. I will also be particularly interested in the presentation on the “Digitaler Knoten Stuttgart (DKS)” (which translates to “Digital Node Stuttgart”). This project is one of the largest railway infrastructure projects currently underway in Germany, and it is piloting a number of technologies.

More information regarding the DKS project can be found here: Digitaler Knoten Stuttgart – Bahnprojekt-Stuttgart-Ulm
