Automated operation is a key function for expanding rail capacity and strengthening the performance of railways. Working together with S-Bahn Berlin, Siemens Mobility has installed and will be testing an obstacle detection system – a key technology component for enabling fully automated driving – for the first time during regular daily operation.
The project’s goal is to thoroughly evaluate the performance of the new obstacle detection system during daily operation in various weather and route conditions. The test data will be used to further refine the system and optimise the positioning of the detection sensors.
