Signaling in the cloud, cloud and AI are at the cutting edge of a signaling revolution
High-performance digital signaling is the bedrock of successful modern rail operations. So what’s new? And can you boost performance and reduce lifecycle costs at the same time?
At InnoTrans 2026, Hitachi Rail will be showcasing the latest developments in both main line and urban rail signaling – including IEC 62443 SL3-certified cloud solutions for safety-critical applications.
All of our metro and main line signaling solutions are Enhanced by HMAX. This enables condition-based and predictive maintenance – transforming reliability and reducing lifecycle costs. Any asset can be connected to HMAX™, from point machines track circuits, balises and more.
Metro signaling solutions
Hitachi Rail’s SelTrac™ CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) is the backbone of metro systems all over the world. We unveil the latest developments – and reveal game changing enhancements in simulation and energy saving.
Next-generation train control: discover new SelTrac G9, the most advanced iteration of our CBTC solution. G9 harnesses the power of virtualization with safety-critical functions hosted on a secure private cloud, instead of on wayside hardware. The solution works seamlessly with ATS Next, our latest Automatic Train Supervision system, and Green CBTC – both of which are AI-enabled.
Twin CBTC: training and simulation is vital for successful CBTC operations. But dedicated labs are expensive. SelTrac Twin CBTC solves that problem, with a subscription-based cloud service that puts high-fidelity CBTC environments within reach of every operator.
Bigger energy savings: reducing electricity consumption is a priority for metro operators. The latest version of our Green CBTC solution – Green CBTC Next AI – uses machine learning to take efficiency gains to the next level, with power savings of up to 20%.
Mainline signaling solutions
Infrastructure managers need scalable signaling to cater for demand peaks. They want geo-redundant systems to enhance resilience. And they want to take advantage of cloud, virtualization and AI. At InnoTrans 2026, we show how these ambitions can be achieved.
Cloud-based signaling: safety-critical interlocking and RBC functions can now be run on a secure sovereign cloud environment – instead of on proprietary hardware. Benefits include instant scalability to handle traffic peaks, full geo-redundancy thanks to seamless logic switching between locations, rapid innovation and easy patching. Find out more about our secure, cybersecurity-certified solution at InnoTrans – and experience our live demo.
Decentralized control and diagnostics: our intelligent object controllers are hidden heroes, converting digital interlocking commands into real wayside actions – operating and monitoring points, signals, and more – with fiber/radio data connectivity to reduce vulnerable copper cabling.
Conflict avoidance: discover how you can quickly detect traffic conflicts – and solve them – with our AI-powered TMS (Traffic Management System). The solution runs in real time, evaluates every option, and automatically suggests the best resolution strategy.
