- Presentation of framework agreement with Siemens
Mobility worth €400 Million for further ETCS expansion
- ETCS enables shorter headways and greater reliability
Siemens
Mobility and ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) are digitizing the Austrian rail
network to further enhance the attractiveness of public transport. ÖBB is aiming
to double the capacity of Austria’s entire rail system by 2040 to cope with
increasing passenger numbers. This goal is now a bit closer: The most modern
technology for railway operations – the digital European Train Control System ETCS – has now been implemented and commissioned on the 57-kilometer route
between Linz and Vöcklabruck. The system controls distances between trains, as
well as their direction and speed in real time. This enables the route to carry
more passengers and freight, and ensures that the trains run more reliably,
punctually, and safely.
