Most of the infrastructure projects are still in the planning phase, which means that the information provided on these pages reflects the current planning status and is updated regularly.
The aim of the project is to equip sections of the 6246 and 6248 lines with the standardised European Train Control System (ETCS). This will close the gaps between the lines in the Dresden node that are still equipped with older and new technologies. This will make it possible to run trains with ETCS without any gaps.
Section 6246 from Dresden Mitte to Dresden Pieschen will be equipped with ETCS Level 2 with signals (ETCS L2mS) over a length of 3 kilometres and is part of the German Unity Transport Project No. 9 (VDE 9: Leipzig – Dresden).
Line 6248 in the section Radebeul junction and Dresden Friedrichstadt will be equipped over a length of 16 kilometres. ETCS Level 2 without signals (ETCS L2oS) and digital interlockings (DSTW) are being introduced here. The DSTW will replace the existing mechanical and relay interlocking systems and will be connected to the future operational center (BSO) and the technical systems center (TSO). These will be built as part of the Operations Control Strategy (BSS) in Dresden Neustadt.
