Following the successful events of 2015 and 2017, the EU agency for railways (ERA) is pleased to announce the 2019 edition of the European rail traffic management system (ERTMS) conference.
After having reached a system maturity with stable specifications, the ERTMS roll-out has been intensified under the European Commission’s action plan. With the entry into force of the 4th Railway package, digitalisation and the advent of big data, the rail sector is facing new challenges, which will be addressed at the conference.
Identifying common ground amond Europe’s leading ERTMS experts - from the European Commission, the railway sector, vendors, users, and the ERA -shall ensure a smooth transition from the status quo into the digital future.
In order to get participants more involved and to foster dialogue among the community, an extra conference day has been planned in which workshops will be held that will feed into the conference sessions of the other days of the conference.
