Ingolstadt node
At the Ingolstadt node in Upper Bavaria, the railway line is being equipped with the Europe-wide standardised train control system ETCS Level 2 in order to enable the future passability of the Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich line with this digital train control system. In addition, a modern digital interlocking will replace the existing relay interlockings and ESTW.

As part of the project to equip the Ingolstadt node with ETCS and digital interlocking-technology, the Ingolstadt DSTW is being built. This will replace the two Ingolstadt relay interlockings (Relaisstellwerke) and Ingolstadt North electronic interlocking (ESTW-UZ), which are not compatible with ETCS. In addition the node will be equipped with ETCS Level 2. The project lays the foundation for the future conversion of the entire Ingolstadt network district to ETCS- and DSTW-technology as well as the passability of the Nuremberg-Ingolstadt-Munich (NIM) route.
The commissioning of the Ingolstadt DSTW requires the construction of an operational center (BSO) in Ingolstadt and a technical systems center (TSO) in Augsburg, which is being carried out as part of the Operations Control Strategy (BSS) project. Commissioning of the project Ingolstadt node is planned for 2030.
