European Railways at the Starting Line of a Technological Revolution: New Systems Set to Transform Transport

European railways are experiencing a technological revolution. The Czech company TTC is introducing a new system that ensures the safety and efficiency of railway transport. With modern technologies like 5G and FRMCS, communication between trains and infrastructure will improve, bringing greater safety and comfort for passengers.

In today's article, we explore how data communication networks operate in Europe. The Czech technological and real estate group TTC focuses on solutions to ensure railway operational safety. They provide a special system responsible for managing emergencies, which evaluates situations based on collected operational data. This system can instantly analyze problems and minimize impacts on transportation flow.

It is important to note that in Europe, transportation is managed using the KONOS system. This is a voice dispatch system with a terminal and a touchscreen display that provides access to the public telecommunication network. With the new 5G technology, a new standard is being slowly integrated into railway infrastructure: the FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System). This is an international wireless communication standard to ensure railway communication between infrastructure managers and the trains themselves.

In other words, this represents progress in the digitalization and automation of railway operations. These steps bring advantages such as increased track safety and improved passenger comfort. Additionally, there will be a positive impact on operational and maintenance planning, as it will be possible to work with data from individual operators. For infrastructure managers, this means they can immediately respond to any train unit issues, as the system will report them. This will significantly positively impact train operations on the tracks.

FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System)

The development of these procedures involves companies like UNIFE and UNITEL. TTC MOBILE ensures the development and creation of applications for critical communication with mobile and radio networks, used in railways. Additionally, TTC NOVIQ is tasked with managing projects in information communication technology for smart energy in railway transport.

Among the leading companies in data analysis and processing in Europe is Mycroft Mind. With years of experience and numerous expert assessments, they can create a comprehensive communication platform that optimizes both rail operations and infrastructure maintenance. This platform aims to enhance passenger safety. As part of the new system implementation, trained specialists are prepared to provide necessary support during the transition from one platform to another.
