Siemens - From Leipzig to Erfurt at 300 km/h – with European Train Control System
The new Sprint line from Erfurt to Leipzig/Halle started passenger operations as part of the VDE8 transportation project just in time for the schedule change in December. #siemens equipped the new route with the Level 2 European Train Control System ETCS without conventional stationary exterior signals. A world premiere: In a world first, there will not be a single conventional stationary exterior signal on the entire route, and all of the necessary signals will be transmitted over the GSM-R digital rail telecommunications system. The advantages are clear: Level 2 not only significantly reduces infrastructure costs and increases travelling speed to around 300 km/h, its forward-looking capability also increases the capacity of the route, shortens travel time, and reduces power consumption.
The newly built and expanded line was needed to accommodate current and future traffic volume growth and offer passengers a competitive and environmentally sound alternative to road and air travel.
