- Siemens Mobility develops concept for future ICE
- DB contributes operator
expertise
Deutsche Bahn AG (DB)
has concluded a development partnership for long-distance rail transport with
Siemens Mobility following a tender. In the first half of 2023, the two
companies will work together on developing their vision of a new-generation
high-speed train. Once the concept has been completed, a further tender is
expected to follow in the second half of 2023 for the development, construction
and certification of the new fleet.
- Hamburger
Hochbahn and Siemens Mobility are building the train control system of tomorrow
for Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines
- Significant
increase in capacity: trains will be able to run at 100-second intervals
Between now and 2030, a state-of-the-art digital train
control system from Siemens Mobility will be installed as an upgrade to the
conventional train control system used by operator Hamburger Hochbahn
(HOCHBAHN) on its U2 and U4 subway lines. The new technology, known as CBTC
(communication-based train control), will allow trains to run at shorter
intervals of only 100 seconds, which will put significantly more trains on the
track in the future, thereby increasing capacity. In addition, CBTC also
improves punctuality, reliability, and energy consumption.
Travel time of eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3 – Capacity for
4,000 passengers per hour and direction – Scheduled to begin operation with
the opening of Terminal 3 – First test trips in 2023

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.

- CBTC
signaling system and GoA4 operation to be implemented across a 22.8 km route, at
23 stations, and on 25 trains
- GoA4
functionality will allow for full automated driverless train operations
- The automated
signaling system will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and
better passenger experience
Siemens Mobility, along with consortium partners ST
Engineering and Stadler, have been awarded an Electrical and Mechanical (E&M)
turnkey contract to deliver the Yellow Line for Kaohsiung Metro. Siemens
Mobility will provide its state-of-the-art CBTC signaling technology with GoA4
functionality, which will allow for full automated train operations (ATO). Furthermore,
Siemens Mobility will deliver its highly reliable and precise Airlink radio
communication system which will facilitate the communication of wayside and
onboard signaling equipment, that will be installed on the new trains.

- New Fire Safety Digital Services enable businesses to move from reactive to proactive fire safety
- First-in-market cloud-based portfolio goes beyond compliance, for total protection through intelligent safety
- Combines on-site and above-site services for automatic data capture, analysis and disturbance-free testing
Siemens has launched Fire Safety Digital
Services, a first-in-market portfolio of digital and managed services which
connects fire safety systems to the cloud, enabling businesses to move from a reactive,
compliance-led approach to total protection through intelligent safety. By
embracing digital services in operation, event-handling and maintenance,
customers can improve hazard identification and prevention, make better
risk-control decisions, protect business continuity, and provide a safe
environment for people and assets.
- 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.
