Course content
It is important for rail operations to safeguard against signal failure and ensure principal safety requirements are met. This helps to ensure that a rail system is safe, reliable and predictable.

This online training provides you with an overview of systems of control and safety for railway traffics to ensure an efficient and safe rail operation. It looks at how systems of signaling work in practice and how technology can fail, leading to a deeper understanding of possible trouble spots and the implications for meeting safety requirements. By analyzing a variety of scenarios under expert guidance, you will be able to deduce where challenges lie and create potential secondary safeguarding levels.

• German Railway history – Operation of trains before the invention of signaling    
• Signaling in practice – failing of technology  
• Analyzation & Creation (possible trouble spots and potential secondary safeguarding levels)  
• How is geographic interlocking operated? 
• General core elements of the safety and control principles of signaling 
• Systems of signaling considering the local safety requirements of rail traffic  
• Transferring the theory of signal box technology to further challenges and its implications
