“An update on the Swiss ERTMS strategy” (together with Raphael Schumacher)
The federal office of transport has recently published its updated Swiss ERTMS strategy. It focuses on the accelerated conversion of entire lines from ETCS L1 LS to L2, on a significant optimisation and acceleration of L2 engineering for the purpose of an efficient deployment, as well as on the ability to use L2 in large nodes. The issue of the life-cycle costs of onboard equipment shall be addressed with high priority.
