ERTMS/ETCS Level 2

ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 is an advanced railway signaling system that enhances safety and efficiency. It uses radio signals and a computer system to continuously monitor and control train movements without relying solely on trackside signals. Trains are equipped with an onboard apparatus that communicates with trackside equipment, providing real-time data on speed and position. This setup allows for closer train spacing and smoother operation, reducing human error and increasing capacity on busy networks. Overall, it creates a safer, more reliable railway system by integrating digital communication and automation.
