Automated train operation:Three processes towards

an intelligent railway backbone

2Railway, a backbone for seamless mobility ?

Internal interfaces1. Minimise the internal complexity of the rail system2.Create interoperable train paths3.Connect different railway systems4.Insuring Safety/Security in the digital age

External interfaces1. Multimodality2. Interfacing at service level with other transport modes:

public transport, autonomous vehicles,…3. Creating and securing common data models and

exchange protocols

Open, share and Connect

• Incompatible networks

• Poor interfaces• No data sharing

• Smart networks• Automated trains• Interfaces oriented

developments• Data sharing

4A smart network for SDGs

- system modelling: generalisation of intelligent traffic management systems

- Future Railway Mobile Communication system (FRMCS)

- Rail Topo Model (RTM)

- Digital twins

- Asset management at digital era.

- Safety / Security

- ATO as a tool

=> Network productivity

5Three key enabling processesServices to the end user:

Safety and Security:

Network Productivity:

• Digital ticketing• Stations / Freight hubs

• Cyber Security • Safety level of ATO

• Capacity increase (FRMCS)• Modelling and asset management (RTM)
