Digitale Schiene Deutschland and industry receive funding to test fully automated train operation

The research and development project “AutomatedTrain” aims to enable a more flexible use of trains through driverless, fully automated dispatching and parking functionality. To achieve this goal, two regional trains will be automated equipped with state-of-the art sensor technology. German government funds the project with EUR 42.6 million.

Digitale Schiene Deutschland and NVIDIA collaborate on a digital twin of the rail network

In order to be able to drive fully automatically, sensor technology in conjunction with AI must be able to record and interpret the track environment and obstacles in the future. With an exact digital twin of the rail network, it is possible to simulate a wide variety of situations in any number and to train the AI in a targeted manner.

Partnership between Nokia and Digitale Schiene Deutschland

Digitale Schiene Deutschland and Nokia unite to develop the rail communication system of the future, FRMCS

Tomorrow’s digital railway requires a rapid exchange of information between vehicles and infrastructure. To realise this, Digitale Schiene Deutschland is working together with the industry on FRMCS – the 5G-based rail communication system of the future. More insights into the partnership between Nokia and Digitaler Schiene Deutschland and the relevance of 5G for the rail communication system of the future shows the video.
