ETCS Fundamentals

European train control system "ETCS" is an important part of ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System). ERTMS is being more and more popular / important day by day as this is harmonized European system for controlling and monitoring rail traffic.

In addition to the already existing ETCS train paths (VDE 8.1, VDE 8.2), further train paths will be upgraded to ETCS train paths. Vehicles will also have to be equipped or retrofitted with the ETCS system for the future.
