UIC was pleased to participate in the successful 2022 European Union Agency for Railways Control Command and Railway Communication Conference CCRCC). UIC initially contributed to the event as part of the organisational committee, and also with contributions during the event itself from Jean-Michel Evanghelou, UIC Director Signalling & Telecom, and Dan Mandoc, Head of FRMCS.

Together with ERA telecoms experts Chiel Spaans and Thomas Chatelet, Mr Mandoc led a workshop entitled “FRMCS introduction: strategies and perspectives”, attended by some 70 participants. The two presentations explaining the introduction of FRMCS as a system and within the framework of the 2022 TSI were following by a lively Q&A session during which migration to FRMCS was discussed.

Mr Evanghelou attended the round table on “Innovation view and feedback from Workshop 8: CCS Beyond 2022: introducing Europe’s Rail Programme”, in which he explained aspects relating to FRMCS and emphasised the importance of support for pilots for FRMCS introduction.
