Signalling the Future: engineering and operational insights into ETCS and CBTC
31st January 2025, in-person event in central London, UK
We are pleased to announce this engineering conference, ‘Signalling the Future’, for operators, suppliers, infrastructure owners and anyone with an interest in signalling projects.
- What are railway clients’ key needs and requirements?
- How can CBTC and ETCS deliver these?
- How have these two technologies converged and what unique advantages does each hold?
- How do the current standards help or hinder?
- Interoperability/interchangeability – is it possible?
Join us to investigate these questions, examine real world successes and lessons learned. Experts will share knowledge and experience to provide a better understanding of the industry direction and needs. What are the challenges we must overcome and how can we collaborate to signal the future?
A chance to exchange knowledge with experts and client organisations, contribute to the discussion, and network with peers.
