English freight line is among those examined for passengers
Der Bedarf an Automatisierungslösungen im Bahnsystem wächst. Die Chance für die Bahn ist groß, das effiziente Verkehrsmittel der Zukunft zu sein. Dies ist jedoch nur möglich, wenn die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gegenüber anderen Verkehrsträgern steigt. Das wird erreicht, wenn die Züge pünktlich und in kürzerer Zugfolge verkehren. Daher entwickeln Siemens-Experten seit Jahren an der Autonomie des Verkehrs. Auf der Schiene ist die Autonomisierung schon weit vorangeschritten.
