ERTMS system evolution and specific solutions (ERTMS Regional, Limited Supervision, In-fill…)
new generation of interlockings and methodologies for capturing and simulating their functional requirements
added value of ERTMS for a sustainable transport system (capacity, safety, economics…)
It is also an ideal opportunity to form an international network with counterparts.
