On 6 September, FusionSystems took part in the workshop “Sensor Technology for Automated Rail Vehicles and Monitoring of Track Systems” at Fraunhofer ENAS. In addition to exciting keynote talks and subsequent group discussions, we gained interesting insights into the challenges facing automatic train control.
Afterwards, we took the opportunity to visit Europe’s first digital interlocking in Annaberg-Buchholz and to take a test ride with LUCY, the Thales laboratory vehicle for environment perception sensor technology, from Annaberg across the Markersbach Viaduct back to Schlettau. The Annaberg – Schlettau test track is used, among other things, to test the automated driving of rail vehicles. We were thus also present at the premiere of the live demonstration of ETCS Level 3 Hybrid.
