This is the second and last part of a longer conversation between Doc Frank and Thomas Laux from German Rail (DB). We keep talking about the technology ambitions of the second stage of the “Digitale Schiene Deutschland” program for the increasing digitalisation of rail operations in Germany. The adoption of metro-style moving block technology and the use of AI are the main topics in this second part.
Show notes:
1) The European Train Control System (ETCS) is hands down the most popular train control technology for mainline railways worldwide (and a main topic in this podcast episode). One of the perhaps best training courses available for ETCS has been the “ETCS Kickstarter” training which has already helped more than 200 professionals in Australia and New Zealand to boost their understanding of the European Train Control System regardless of their prior knowledge of signalling.
The online version of this training called Understanding ETCS Fundamentals is currently being developed, and subscribers of this podcast can get a 25% discount if they sign up before 30 September 2024 at https://docfranktraining.podia.com/etcs and use the code ETCS-RC25 at checkout.
2) The online training program “High Capacity Railway Mindset” is based on cutting-edge research and presents weekly training modules over twelve weeks. Every module includes a “Transformation Guide” lesson with coaching how to facilitate change and learning, and also five examples of an outdated legacy mindset with an associated new mindset more conducive for a high-capacity railway and tips how to get there.
This online training course is the only one of its kind worldwide, so use this opportunity to get an edge and join the program at https://docfranktraining.podia.com/mindset.
