ERTMS/ETCS Level 1

ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 is an advanced signaling system used on railways to improve safety and efficiency. It equips trains with onboard computers that receive signals from trackside equipment, guiding train speed and movement without the need for traditional signals. Level 1 integrates existing signal infrastructure with electronic systems, allowing trains to operate more precisely and maintain safe distances automatically. This enhances punctuality, reduces human error, and facilitates better train traffic management, especially on routes where upgrading infrastructure gradually is preferred. Overall, it’s a modern, digital approach to train control that increases safety and capacity on rail networks.
