From passenger to freight trains: RCG retrains drivers
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.
The demand for automated solutions for rail systems is increasing. Rail has a great chance of becoming the most efficient means of transport in the future. However, this is only possible if it increases its competitiveness in comparison with other means of transport. This is achieved when trains arrive punctually and in quick succession. Siemens experts have therefore been working on autonomous operation of rail transport for several years. Significant progress has already been made with this automation of rail transport.
