ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System)

ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is a train control system designed to improve safety and efficiency across European rail networks. It combines onboard technology and trackside equipment to monitor and manage train movements, ensuring safe distances between trains and enabling higher speeds and more coordinated traffic flow. By standardizing these systems across countries, ERTMS reduces manual signaling, minimizes delays, and facilitates international train travel, creating a seamless and integrated European rail system.
