ETCS project - 2014
Diakar Techniki Ltd / Ansaldo STS
Contracted on a large-scale project ran by a ERGA OSE AE- ANSALDO STS joint venture: the installation of a Level1 ETCS (European Train Control System) system in the Greek Railway System. The ETCS system is an integrated signaling, control and train protection system, that allows continuous monitoring of the maximum permissible speed of trains in circulation as well as automated protection against speeding violations, by applying braking or emergency braking, and enforces automated halting of the train in case of violation of a red light. In addition, as part of the installation of the ETCS system, light signals are displayed inside train-driver’s cabin by utilizing Lineside Electronic Units (LEU) and Eurobalises radio beacons. This system is an open platform for development of future applications for railway use as well as for providing upgraded services to passengers.
