ÖBB puts into operation the world's first wind turbine for traction power
Sustainable electricity could run for 1,400 journeys from Vienna to Salzburg.
Stories about trillions of brain cells in action: smartest inventions, smart assets, artificial intelligence, and other up-to-date devices in high tech section.
Sustainable electricity could run for 1,400 journeys from Vienna to Salzburg.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) has started building an innovative infrastructure in Schleswig-Holstein for the future energy supply of battery trains. Instead of continuous electrification of every track kilometer, the new technology only requires the electrification of short sections of track or individual stations.
Space-age technology using lasers and plasma jets is being trialed as a more sustainable way to vaporize autumn leaves from railway lines and minimize passenger delays in the future.
In the first half of this year (April 2022 – April 2023) there have already been 572 trespass incidents, resulting in 21,021 delay minutes for £1.1m to the industry.
ETCS Level 2 was created to harmonize cross-border rail traffic. The most advanced version of Level 2 (Baseline 3) features optimized braking curves and also enhances odometric performance, enabling drivers to select the appropriate speed.
The new module simplifies the communication structure between the operational and administrative staff of railway undertakings and replaces standardized manual processes with digital systems.
RAILMARKET.com's interview with Stefan Kemper, Senior Strategic Director, Siemens Mobility at InnoTrans 2022.
This project is based on practicable linking of AI processes with requirements and approval procedures in railway environments.
European Train Control System (ETCS) in cab signaling technology enables trains to operate more reliably and safely, as well as reducing costs and emissions by removing of lineside infrastructure.
The emission-free journey led through Germany from Bremervörde to Munich Main station.
The company will supply the ETSC system to 176 ViRM double-deck rail vehicles and the maintenance for this technology will provide for seven years.
The thirteenth InnoTrans will take place from 20 to 23 September 2022.
Buckling on ballasted tracks is a result of the accumulation of energy in the track due to thermal variation.
High-ranking representatives of duisport and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges signed a long-term cooperation agreement. duisport CEO Markus Bangen and Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, confirmed the partnership in the presence of Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon.
This initiative is part of other actions such as the implementation of acoustic and light signaling, and the incorporation of artificial vision systems that detect the presence of obstacles at level crossings.
Using regional trains on biodiesel should help reduce CO2 emissions on the mentioned routes by 90 percent.
The full-scale test vehicle equipped with all the necessary components to perform the first tests has been delivered to Nova Sarzyna, Poland.
The innovative warning system will be presented at the InnoTrans trade fair in Berlin from 20 to 23 September.
The Chiltern tunnels will carry high-speed trains between London and the North at speeds of up to 200mph (320km/h).
100MW facility could deliver up to 40 tonnes of green hydrogen per day - enough to power 1300 hydrogen trucks. International export is also being explored.
