Together with our customer Deutsche Bahn, InfraGo and all project participants, we are pleased to contribute decisively to Europe's blueprint project for bringing digital transformation to rail networks and nodes.
Hitachi Rail, Germany
Digital Node Stuttgart
As a part of the initial “Digital Node Stuttgart” package, Deutsche Bahn is equipping the Stuttgart region with a digital signalling system (DSTW*), the European Train Control System (ETCS*) and Automatic Train Operations (ATO*) with driver. Digital Node Stuttgart is part of the wider Digital Rail Germany programme.
Installation of ETCS and CTMS
Installation of the digital signalling system, the installation of ETCS, preliminary work for the implementation of the track-side automatic operations and the Capacity & Traffic Management System (CTMS*), a modern technology and operating site, in excess of 6,000 electronic km markers (balises), more than 1,300 axle counting points and approximately 650 point machines.
20% extra capacity to the network
This high-tech signalling solution will offer better punctuality and enabling more trains to travel without having to build a single metre of additional track. The solution will add up to 20% extra capacity to the rail network.
