60,000 customers now
benefit daily from more space, greater comfort and more security cameras – new
483/484 series ensures reliable service
With immediate
effect, DB is completely converting the S8 line to its newest generation of
trains. The modern trains with their distinctive flat front are already
reliably operating on three of Berlin’s S-Bahn lines. As of today, around
60,000 passengers using the S8 will also benefit from better information, more
security cameras, and additional space for wheelchair users, strollers and
bicycles. Rather than operating with four cars, the new trains have six. In
addition, the S8 line has been extended from Birkenwerder to Wildau via Zeuthen
during peak traffic periods. Together with the S46, the two lines now ensure
environmentally friendly connections to the nearby Studentenstadt.

- Siemens and partners launch safe.trAIn
research project
- Practicable linking of AI processes with
requirements and approval procedures in railway environments
- AI-based methodologies for driverless
regional trains
- Safe.trAIn to support standardization
activities in AI and rail transportation
In a project that will run until the end of 2024, Siemens
and 16 partners will facilitate advances in the driverless operation of
regional trains with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Within the “safe.trAIn”
project, which the German government is subsidizing, there is a budget of €23 million
available for this task. Solutions for meeting the requirements in this highly
regulated and standardized environment have the potential to substantially boost
the efficiency and sustainability of regional railway transportation.
