The future of mobility lies in the tracks

The transport revolution and climate change are driving us at Digitale Schiene Deutschland. In the future, more and more people and goods are to be transported by rail, but Germany's railway infrastructure consists largely of outdated technology in need of renovation. The rail network is reaching its limits, resulting in delays and train cancellations.

The mission of Digital Rail Germany is to use technological innovations to increase the performance and, in particular, the capacity of the existing rail system. Digital control and safety technology with the Europe-wide standardized ETCS train control system and digital signal boxes, as well as intelligent traffic management systems, form the pillars of the digital railway. This allows trains to run closer together on the rail network. Incidents can be responded to more quickly. Standardized technology makes operations more robust. Maintenance costs are reduced. This enables trains to reach their destinations on time and reliably.
