Overview
Australian railways are moving to adopt new network control systems to maximise capacity, efficiency and safety. A key characteristic of these new systems is the need for both trackside and onboard components.
An integrated approach to these initiatives has the potential to provide many benefits to the rail industry. Conversely, a disjointed approach will have consequences that will last for many years, including higher costs and lower competitiveness for rail transport.
Learning outcomes
- The technical and operational complexities of the Australian rail network relating to train control interoperability.
- What initiatives are underway and what interoperability challenges are created.
- Current initiatives to avoid the interoperability trap.
- Understand why interoperability is the biggest challenge the Australian rail industry is currently facing.
