5、igitalization is the key to increased availability,automation,connectivity,and sustainability in rail munication.This integration of technology into all areas of our lives is called digitalization,and it is characterized by a previously unimag-inable networking of people via social platforms and of

6、material objects via the Internet of Things(IoT).It enables the development of entirely new and almost inconceivable innovations.For example,didyouknowthattheIP6Internetprotocol could theoretically assign a separate identity to every grain of sand?INTRODUCTION45INTRODUCTIONThe transformation of rail

7、 transportation is picking up speed Just as all areas of life are undergoing a digital transformation,rail traffic is also in the process of being transformed by digitalization.We are already deep in this process.Digitalization will give rail-based mobility an unprecedented boost.It offers greater f

8、lexibility,effectiveness,and efficiency and significantly advances the networking of mobility offerings.Above all,Internet and smartphone applications have dramatically influenced individual mobility options and made multimodal travel opportunities available to all passengers.At the same time,new co

9、mpetitors and offerings have put greater pres-sure on traditional transportation companies.To maintain an attractive position in the future trans-portation network,these companies need to expand,improve,and future-proof their offerings.The winners will be those who network the existing infrastructur

10、e using smart media,expand transportation capacities,and prepare the infra-structure for a digital future.One of the most exciting questions is how the ever-increasing networking,cloud-driven automation,big data,machine learning,augmented reality,and blockchain to name just a few key technological t

11、rends will shape this transformation.Tremendous opportunities for operators and passengers First of all,we believe that these trends represent a tremendous opportunity for infrastructure providers,technology companies,freight traffic,and travelers alike:an opportunity to master high traffic volume w

12、ithout having to lay new tracks;an opportunity for sustainable,fast,and comfortable travel;and an opportunity for greater efficiency and significant value creation with comparatively low investments.56Digitalizing the transportation infrastructure can radically optimize resources during installation

13、 and operation and can intelligently simplify the extreme technological complexity of the railway system.Previously closed island solutions can be securely opened and safely networked.Digital interlockings,for example,have already become the new state of the art.However,our plans go much further.As

14、a partner and trailblazer for our customers and suppliers,we develop the products and digital solutions necessary for enabling maximum reli-ability in passenger and freight transportation,an almost100percentavailabilityofrailvehiclesandtheir infrastructure,and optimal costs for mainte-nance and repa

15、ir all while significantly enhancing the travel experience for passengers.Our vision:A fully networked rail infrastructure In the Siemens Mobility vision of an entirely digi-tally networked rail infrastructure,only elements like point machines and balises will remain in the field.All other component

16、s and controls will reside in the cloud.Data can be used to control traffic flows and dynamically adjust them to environmental conditions.A networked infrastruc-ture will allow trains,cars,buses,bicycles,and more to be seamlessly interconnected.Our vision of an intermodal traffic system will become

17、a reality.The more data that is available,the greater its value.New and ingenious algorithms will trace potential causes of error and correct potential faults before they even can occur.An unimag-inable depth of detail will yield the business models for tomorrows mobility.INTRODUCTIONRail transporta

18、tion that is future-ready,safe,secure,and green Only secure and reaction-free connectivity can support the transmission and real-time analysis of data obtained from vehicles and lines.To give our vision a more concrete form,Siemens Mobility devotes a major portion of its research and devel-opment ex

19、penditures to developing innovative components that are able to interconnect via the IoT specifically,via the“Internet of Trains”and that are protected from unauthorized access.New technologies are IoT-capable ex works and remain compatible with the highest Safety Integrity Level,SIL4.Nevertheless,c

20、ompetition from road and air traffic is intense.That is why we need to continue devel-oping the benefits of rail transportation through digitalization,design it to be flexible and adapt-able,and expand its capacities in short,make rail transportation fit for the future.The key is more intelligence a

21、nd maximum secu-rity in every component.This will allow railways to succeed as an extremely eco-friendly and sustain-able carrier of the future.The technologies are there.Let us take advantage of them together!7INTRODUCTIONWe will continue to develop the benefits of rail transportation through digit

22、alization to enable railways to succeed as an extremely ecofriendly and sustainable carrier of the future.8ATO over ETCS:How it works The ATO trackside system collects both static and dynamic data on the line and timetables provided by the traffic management systems and transfers it to the vehicle.B

23、ased on the available data on the infrastructure,track,and timetables,the onboard system calculates the optimal trip profile at any given time and controls the vehicles traction and braking systems on automated train runs.The engine driver is continuously informed of all procedures via a display.As

24、a result,energy consumption is reduced and traffic flow and capacity are significantly improved.Thanks to automated braking,ATO over ETCS shortens braking distances,which in turn greatly improves headways.AUTOMATED DRIVINGThefirststep:Automated drivingOne of the greatest challenges of our time is to

25、 ensure economical and sustainable mobility in the face of growing demand and limited possibilities for network expansion.In particular,the demand for safe and secure rail services with high opera-tional availability is increasing.Automated rail services can provide solutions to these very prob-lems

26、 and permanently improve rail transportation.Long before trains arrive at overloaded transporta-tion nodes in the network,they can be coordi-nated so they can pass through these nodes successively and with no delays.In the future,it will be possible for vehicles to be automatically routed and succes

27、sfully controlled along the braking curve,even in complex networks.The provision of vehicles at the platform can also be fully autonomous,thanks to automated railway operation.When the train is moving,drivers take on a supervisory role that allows them,for example,to pay even more attention to event

28、s on the platform or to concentrate on the proper procedures in emergency situations.Higher efficiency and added value The advantages for operators and passengers of a digital and therefore smart infrastructure are enormous.In the future,automated train opera-tion will allow railways to transport mo

29、re people on the same lines while also significantly reducing energy consumption.Optimized trip profiles will also permit more energy-efficient braking,which means less wear and tear and reduced mainte-nance and other operating costs.As a result,the value of assets will be sustainably increased over

30、 their entire lifecycle.Passenger experience will also be enhanced,not least because of the opti-mized passenger flow and improved punctuality as well as maximum availability and safety.9ATO over ETCS Automatic train operation(ATO)and the European Train Control System(ETCS)are important basic techno

31、logies for increasing the efficiency of rail transportation systems and for creating standardized,transnational automation.The combination is referred to as ATO over ETCS.AUTOMATED DRIVING9 Proven in regional service and pioneering in mainline service Siemens is a market leader in fully and highly a

32、utomated mass transit solutions and a pioneer in the implementation of these solutions in mainline traffic.Automated rail systems are already established in urban transportation.In mass transit systems,standardized vehicles operate within a closed network,which makes automated train operation much e

33、asier.At present,multiple automated train solutions are already in operation throughout Europe,including metro lines in Paris,Budapest,and Barcelona.Automatic train operation(ATO)also covers a wide range of applications in mainline service,from highly automated trains to completely driverless operat

34、ion.ATO technology accesses information from components like traffic management solu-tions.Compared with regional service,automated railway operation in mainline service has to take into account numerous additional parameters that make the process much more complex.As a result,different rail operato

35、rs in mainline service operate in an open infrastructure,with different vehicle types and mixed traffic adding to the complexity.In addition,standardized solutions are required to allow interoperability,the ability of vehicle fleets to operate throughout the entire rail network.10Radio block center

36、simulation:Test ETCS Level 2 with no trackside ETCS equipment!Using an RBC(radio block center)solution,Siemens MobilitycantestETCSLevel2onanyline,includingthose not equipped with ETCS.The missing ETCS track-side equipment is replicated by a simulated RBC that is installed in the vehicle based on the

37、 plug-and-play principle.Reference points are produced on the track using line balises,which enables the flexible planning andimplementationofETCSLevel2testruns.The technological basis for“ATO over ETCS”All over Europe,operators are looking for new solutions to increase capacity and reduce energy co

38、nsumption.The European Train Control System(ETCS),which is already established in mainline service,monitors speed on the rails and ensures that train intervals are safely observed.ETCS is also a key component in the integration of rail transportation in Europe.The goal is to replace themorethan20dif

39、ferentnationalrailwaycontroland safety systems currently being used on the European continent in order to allow the interop-erability of cross-border rail traffic.This makes ETCS an important basic technology for increasing the efficiency of rail transportation systems and for creating standardized,

40、transna-tional automation.It enables IoT-based networking and increased digital services on a profound and reliable basis.This phenomenon is referred to as“ATO over ETCS”.AUTOMATED DRIVINGETCSLevel2haslongbeenstateoftheart,elimi-nating the need for physical signals as train and trackside elements co

46、URITY,DASHBOARDSTrackside and trainside systems supply a tremen-dous amount of data.For some time,hundreds of sensors and control devices in trains,locomotives,buildings,and products in other words,all assets have been recording vast amounts of informa-tion,from the temperature of axle bearings and

47、traction data to the currents of door-coupling operating mechanisms and information on defec-tive copper bearings and shock absorbers.Thanks to comprehensive storage technologies and cloud-based services,we can now collect extensive data,store it over the long term and networked via the IoT process

48、it further.The devices exchange information,and this opens the door to a veritable data universe that is been inaccessible until now.Optimized maintenance and operation planning By partially or fully automating fleets and lines,railway operators can significantly improve their operating sequence,whi

49、ch will in turn increase their cost-effectiveness.For example,comprehen-Intelligently networked:The enormous potential of big datasive connectivity enables precise predictive main-tenance and need-based component and system repair in the vehicle and on the tracks.Fixed maintenance cycles will be a t

50、hing of the past,because products will let us know when and what type of service they need.Predictive maintenance makes it possible to significantly reduce unplanned downtime and repair effort.Today the latest analytical tools allow a broad and in-depth analysis of digital information so that railwa

51、y operators in the future wont just be able to optimize the operation of individual vehicles they will also be able to monitor and optimally control their entire rail network,including their fleet,as needed.In addition to standard KPIs,our user-oriented design processes also deliver customized proce

52、ssing of KPIs for different user groups for example,infrastructure managers,maintenance personnel,and operations managers to ensure the best possible user experience.13CONNECTIVITY,CYBERSECURITY,DASHBOARDSCondition Asset failure map (which assets fail where)Failure frequency per asset type (Signals,

55、taken into account in order for you as a customer to profitably use this data to achieve the sustain-able rail service of the future:1.Useful data:To achieve the greatest utility,we need to record the data that is most valuable to you.The more data the systems record,the greater the benefits derived

56、 from the information.2.Robust protection and cybersecurity:Before we interconnect everything,we have to take all possible measures to protect people and data.3.Smart analysis and simple processing:This data must be efficiently and intelligently analyzed and made comprehensible using special algorit

57、hms and,if necessary,processed with recom-mendations for action.As a strong partner and consultant,Siemens Mobility supports you in the safe and secure digitali-zation and networking of your railway network with a large number of seamlessly coordinated products and services,including analyses.Whethe

58、r you operate smaller systems or an entire network,as a Siemens customer you will receive a solution that is modified and scaled to your requirements.14Safety and security are our top priorities.This means protecting people and providing total information security.Only when functional safety and IT

59、security/cybersecurity are guaranteed throughout the entire production chain will companies be able to fully exploit their digital potential.Railigent makes intelligent use of data to create added value for operators:Uptoa100percentincreaseinsystemavailability,thanks to condition-based monitoring,da

61、ions today.CTmobile,CTsensor,and CTcentral are new telem-atic solutions from Siemens that optimally comple-ment each another.Siemens CTmobile is a hard-ware component box installed on the vehicle that receives data from the CTsensor solutions.Siemens CTcentral is a software platform that can run loc

62、ally or in a private cloud application.In both cases,customers remain within their own network while enjoying the many benefits of a digitally networked infrastructure.CONNECTIVITY,CYBERSECURITY,DASHBOARDSThe Charter of Trust To comprehensively network the rail infrastruc-ture,there must be a secure

63、 connection to an open,digital ecosystem.Railigent is the solution from Siemens Mobility Rail Services for smart asset management.It is a secure,state-of-the-art plat-form for analytics that relies on secure interfaces and transmission paths.With this in mind,Siemensco-foundedtheCharterofTrustin2018

64、.Along with IoT market leaders like Daimler and IBM,we established in the Charter that future products from all partner companies will be designed and implemented based on ambitious cybersecurity principles.15Controlled monitoring with the Data Capture Unit One development offered by Siemens is a co

65、mpact,easy-to-install,and highly effective data diode.It provides comprehensive connectivity and controlled monitoring,including for security-relevant networks.The Data Capture Unit(DCU)connects a closed network to a storage medium,server,or the IoT via a unidirectional data gateway,reaction-free an

66、d therefore securely.This one-way data street offers tremendous potential.In the transportation infrastructure,the diode can improve the connected control,safety,and security systems used in the rail infrastructure.The DCU is embedded in the Mind-Connect Rail Edge platform hardware and software solu

67、tion,and the combination allows for secure connectivity.Siemens has been supplying its pro-ductswithdatadiodesasstandardsince2018.Itisalso possible to integrate them into existing systems.CONNECTIVITY,CYBERSECURITY,DASHBOARDSIt is all a matter of valuable data,robust cybersecurity,and the right data

68、 processing.Recommended by experts:Data diodes Cybersecurity is especially important for networking in safety-and security-related infra-structures.These networks are typically protected by firewalls and/or air gaps,meaning that theyre completely isolated.Both solutions have their weaknesses.With ai

69、r gaps a typical solution for power plant networks no transmission of live data to a recipient outside the network is possible,and this greatly limits the benefits available from the abundance of data.Firewalls are prone to misconfiguration and vulnerabilities.That is why experts recommend using dat

70、a diodes as an additional security measure for network segments that are in special danger,because data diodes only allow data to pass in the predefined direction(unidirectional).Using data diodes,customers can,for example,merge operational train data with historical consumption data,weather forecas

71、ts,and infor-mation on major city events via the Railigent digital ecosystem.The result is a smooth and economically optimized flow of traffic controlled by the cloud.16The secret is not just having the right data it also entails processing it as valuable information.The new System Performance Dashb

72、oard is a cloud-based solution for the in-depth analysis of your systems.Let us assume that all the data previously defined for your rail network has been recorded,securely stored,categorized,processed,and analyzed.How can you now access the informa-tion you need?For example,you might have the follo

73、wing ques-tions:How punctual are your trains?What sections of the network are well utilized and what sections are being over-or underutilized?Have field elements failed,and if yes,which ones?Is any construction planned?If yes,what trains will be affected,and do they need to be rerouted?You can find

74、answers to all these questions on Siemens Mobilitys extremely user-friendly dashboard.Data analysis:Full transparency at a glanceWith just a few clicks,you will see a clear presen-tation of the data based on customer-specific key performance indicators(KPIs).You can retrieve the desired information

75、as a function of your profile,whether youre the CEO or the operator.The KPIs give you the information you need to for rapid,strategic decision-making.The pre-defined stan-dard KPIs include the punctuality,network utiliza-tion,condition,and capacity of the rail network being monitored.Working in co-c

76、reation for and with our customers,at Siemens Mobility we specifically adapt these KPIs to the customers requirements in a user-centric process.The dash-board runs in Railigent,the secure,high-perfor-mance analytics platform from Siemens Mobility.Straightforward,thanks to the heat map function Users

84、pecial about MIA is that it can also be subscribed to as a service.Our experts then come to you,the customer,and work with you to eval-uate the results of the technical analysis.CONNECTIVITY,CYBERSECURITY,DASHBOARDSOur dashboard projects follow an iterative process to achieve best results regarding

85、user experience.EmpathizeDefinePrototypeEvaluate18 DIGITAL INTERLOCKINGThe digital revolution in interlockingsInterlockings are the centerpiece of rail infrastruc-tures around the world.The relay interlockings that were set up many decades ago have already been followed by the second generation of i

86、nter-locking technology,the electronic interlocking.This modernization resulted in significant improvements.Based on this state-of-the-art technology,Siemens Mobility and DB Netz AG have now developed a newer and more modern technology as part of the Digital Rail for Germany(DSD)initiative:the digit

87、al interlocking(DSTW).The new interlocking technology features an IP-based architecture and standardized interfaces.The dispatchers switching commands are digitally transmitted to the points,signals,and track contacts via network technology.The tremendous advantage is that the previously required in

88、di-vidual connections via kilometer-long cable bundles to single interlocking elements have been eliminated.In addition,signals and points can be controlled at much greater distances via a data line,thanks to the network connection.We believe that the new interlocking technology is a milestone in th

89、e digitalization of the infra-structure as well as the basis for higher capacities and improved punctuality in rail transportation.Successful pilot projects The first trains controlled by a DSTW are already operating safely and punctually.In the town of Warnemnde in northern Germany,Siemens Mobility

90、 commissioned Germanys second digital interlocking and the first to be used in mainline serviceinSeptember2019.In2018,weimple-mented a pilot project in Annaberg-Buchholz in which Europes first DSTW began operation,ushering in a revolution in rail control and safety systems.The two projects were impo

91、rtant steps toward operating interlockings in the cloud.For the first time ever,an interlocking transmits its IP-based commands to the systems field elements,including points,signals,and axle counters.This allows brand-new flexibility in planning,makes it possible to use intelligent field elements,a

92、nd generates positive cost effects over the longer term.All this is achieved while meeting the strictest safety standards in operation.19DIGITAL INTERLOCKINGNorways rail network goes digital:First country-wide rollout Another early adopter of the new,digital signaling technology can be found in Norw

93、ay.Together with the state-owned agency responsible for the national railway infrastructure,we are installing interlockings,outdoor facilities,and ETCS (EuropeanTrainControlSystem)Level2throughout the entire Norwegian railway network.seepage20/21 Looking to the future As Siemens Mobility,we want to

94、go one step further.In our vision of an entirely digitally networked rail infrastructure,only elements like point machines and balises will remain in the field:All other components will be virtualized.In this future,axle counters,track circuits,and signals will disappear.Over the long term,the contr

95、ol logic behind this vision the interlockings and radio block center will permanently reside in the cloud.The trains will report their position to the central,secure system via radio control and will receive their movement authority accordingly.In an initial project,we have already been able to veri

96、fy the safe and secure operation of an inter-locking based on commercial-off-the-shelf(COTS)Multicore technology:In Achau,Austria,BB-Infrastruktur AG and Siemens Mobility commissioned the first hard-ware-independent Simis AT interlocking on the DS3(DistributedSmartSafeSystem)platform.Itisthefirstapp

99、s that will significantly reduce infrastructure costs and maximize capacity.DIGITAL INTERLOCKING 21Passengers will benefit from improved punctuality,increased capacity,and higher train frequency.The nationwide system is controlled by anETCSLevel2solutionfromSiemensthat is located in a central interl

100、ocking and a radio block center in Oslo and issues movement authority to the trains.All lines are expected to be in operationby2034.22 BIMDigital twin of the infrastructureAs we did in Norway,we can migrate entire rail networks to digital technologies.Such a move doesnt happen overnight;it requires

101、elaborate preparation and sophisticated methods.From tracks and vehicles to buildings and the environ-ment,it is important that all components and interactions be mapped in a digital infrastructure model:a digital twin.This includes precise data recording,digital planning,digital expansion,and digit

102、al maintenance.Building information modeling At Siemens Mobility,we use BIM(building infor-mation modeling)that is fully integrated in all project phases.Originally used in the construction industry,BIM is a state-of-the-art methodology for complete virtual planning:Its advantage is that it integrat

103、es all planning partners and available information and improves collaboration,planning quality,and productivity for the entire project.The data is fully transparent to all stakeholders and lays the groundwork for efficient,data-driven repair and maintenance.Once the model meets all the specification

104、s,it is tested virtually before being installed.BIM Services The foundation is the recording of the entire rail environment with millimeter precision.For a long time,employees measured tracks manually using measuring wheels to capture the necessary data.In the future,this will be done digitally usin

105、g scanners and drones.The entire line must be covered,which is a resource-intensive process.On Germanys tracks alone,it would amount to around33,000trackkilometers,andthereforedigital track capturing is all the more essential.In addition to the lidar scanners typical of the industry,SiemensMobilityu

106、sesa360-degreecamera.A geo-referenced point cloud is generated from the scan data,meaning that each data point can be assigned an exact geographic position.The camera images augment the point cloud.BIM improves and accelerates collaborations between different partners across time zones,companies,and

107、 national borders.23BIMAfter the data is captured,a digital site survey is performed in which we label all relevant signaling objects across the track and in the control room.A precise model of the environment is created a full-scale site plan that can easily be processed furtherintheoffice.Wegenera

108、te3Dmodelsofentire routes,interlocking buildings,and control rooms that our customers can use for simulations,testing,and training.Our BIM Services can be subscribed to individually and in packages.Engineers wearing augmented reality goggles can see the ETCS components in the real train environ-ment

109、 during the installation analysisDigital integration conceptsAs a supplement to BIM,Siemens Mobility also uses a combination of digital measuring tools on the vehicle side and augmented reality(AR)applications.This allows us to virtually plan installation scenarios for ETCS components at the vehicle

110、 on-site or modernize vehicles as part of a retrofit which is especially relevant when upgrading to ETCS and installing the requisite components for this upgrade.We accomplish this,using tools like AR goggles:for example,HoloLens from Microsoft.To facilitate communication,the technicians work on the

111、 vehicle can be mirrored on a tablet in real time.Other benefits of the method All design partners have unlimited access to the latest design status and an inclusive CAD model of the entire rail infrastructure and processing.They use a shared database that serves as the“single source of truth.”This

112、is how BIM improves and accelerates collaborations between different partners across time zones,companies,and national borders and how planning risks are minimized.As our customer,you can inspect and experience a3Dmodelvirtuallyinanearlyprojectphase.This visual support assists you in meetings with s

113、takeholders and governments and when informing the public and reduces the risk of non-budgeted changes.We thoroughly test the design before starting construction.This means that we have already detected collisions for example,with existing structures on the screen and not on the track.24 DIGITAL STA

114、TIONThe digital stationFor as long as railways have connected the world,railway stations have been at the heart of inter-modal travel.The challenge today is to efficiently operate nodes as they become increasingly complex.Control systems from Siemens Mobility do exactly that,thanks to complete IoT i

115、ntegration and cloud-based operating solutions.This is how we are bringing railway stations into a new,digital,and efficient era.At the core of this move is the data that is being collected.In the digital station,infrastructure and vehicle data is linked via secure interfaces:for example,with the he

116、lp of the DCU(Data Capture Unit).Our solution is the DSM(Digital Station Manager).The system gives operators digital,automated control of railway stations and optimally guides travelers to their desired mode of transportation,and even to an empty seat.This allows operators to ideally adjust railway

117、stations to the volume of passenger traffic,enhance passenger experience,and boost capacity and cost-effectiveness.25DIGITAL STATIONThe Digital Station Manager can be connected to an external or local cloud.Optimal orientation,thanks to smartphones and beaconsSmartphone apps and beacons are importan

118、t sources of information for the DSM.Beacons are tiny transmitters inside buildings that send signals at specific intervals to facilitate routing and orientation.Travelers have the option to receive beacon signals via app:The latest information is automatically displayed when they move past certain

119、points.Controlling passenger flows In a digital station,for example,state-of-the-art camera,control,and sensor technology makes it possible to modify the speed of escalators to the volume of passenger traffic automatically and in real time to save energy and optimally control the passenger flow.The

120、DSM can also start the air-conditioner when many people are expected and turn it down in the opposite case.These tools are especially useful when large numbers of people are attending major events like concerts and sport events.The system supplies precise data on the current and expected passenger v

121、olume and a compre-hensive overview of all procedures in railway stations and on platforms.Operators are then able to safely transport the maximum number of passengers,stagger people gathering at specific locations,and take into account any government restrictions.A special decision-support tool off

122、ers recommendations on how and where people can navigate the station most efficiently.Passengers can also pay for their trip wirelessly,without using a ticket vending machine.Until now,no other provider of rail infrastructure solutions has combined information from different systems and networks in

123、this form.COVID-19 and beyond The above-mentioned functions not only increase efficiency,theycanalsohelpduringtheCOVID-19pandemic.For example,the system can be used to direct passenger streams through narrow corridors in only one direction,or to determine whether passengers are maintaining the recom

124、mended physical distance.Siemens Mobility has already piloted this application with the German public utility Stadtwerke Mnchen,and it is also being used by ProRail in the Netherlands.The benefits The Digital Station Manager from Siemens offers innumerable benefits to operators,infrastructure owners

125、,and passengers.Operators can optimally synchronize and efficiently adjust all station operations if desired,IoT-based in their own or an external cloud.Passengers enjoy enhanced comfort,thanks to better orientation and up-to-date information.Infrastructure owners can,for example,reduce their CAPEX

126、thanks to network-and hardware-optimized SCADA,PIS,CCTV,and PA solutions that raise the level of virtualization.26 NEW BUSINESS MODELSNew business models:Mobility as a ServiceTake advantage of mobility whenever it is needed.More and more,mobility is becoming a service for both operators and traveler

127、s.Individual services are combined in comprehensive packages that are available on demand at all times.For operators,this means an additional business model and lower costs;for travelers,it means flexibility and enhanced travel comfort.As a result,railway companies today can control their trains wit

128、hout having to own any control system hardware.Travelers in the age of intermodal travel can expect smartphone apps to seamlessly guide them from point A to point B across all modes of trans-portation and all with a single ticket.Control technology in the cloud The traffic control and information sy

129、stem Iltis,for example,can run entirely on cloud servers.This networked solution is called“Iltis as a Service”(ILaaS).It enables railway companies to operate without owning control technology hardware and purchase the functions as a flexible service.As suppliers,we ensure that the control technology

130、 infrastructure always complies with the latest,mandatory IT security standards.ILaaS is also designed as a platform and can be easily expanded with additional digital solutions.Two private railway companies in Switzerland are already operating their control technology in the cloud with ILaaS:Gorner
