A £1.86bn investment in digital technology, GSM-R paves the way for more efficient signalling systems
The Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway (GSM-R) delivers digital, secure and dependable communications between drivers and signallers. This helps to increase safety, reduce delays and improve performance – providing a better experience for passengers.

How it works
GSM-R supports secure and reliable driver-signaller communication by bringing together the most effective combination of technology, processes and people.
使用具有移动技术的定制固定电信网络,其流程包括旅程登记,操作消息传递和优先级driver-signaller communications. Those involved range from drivers and signallers to managers, controllers and maintenance staff.
为什么使用GSM-R?
Compliance
有两个关键驱动因素用于引入GSM-R:要求遵守铁路应用中的数字数据和语音通信的欧洲共同标准,并遵循主要事件查询的建议。
Improving safety
GSM-R delivers direct radio driver-signaller communications at all times. This includes areas such as隧道和深扦插,其中没有以前没有的无线电通信,因此系统:
- improves safety for drivers, maintenance teams and passengers.
- 确保对潜在危害的潜在危害更快,更有效地对铁路紧急呼叫等潜在危害。
- eliminates the need for drivers to exit the train in the event of a problem.
Reducing operating costs
通过更换越来越低的繁荣和昂贵的传统系统的拼凑而言,GSM-R降低了持续的维护成本,提高了可靠性并为数字启用的铁路网络提供了基础。
Moving away from analogue
以前的无线电驱动程序 - Syngaller通信依赖于模拟无线网络。这些功能有限,维护越来越昂贵。
新的数字技术也意味着我们可以跟上行业发展,如ERTMS(欧洲铁路交通管理系统)等(欧洲火车控制系统)。
