Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Alstom have completed a test of remote driving technology for a commuter train in a depot environment.
The test forms part of a DB project exploring how remote shunting operations could be used to support depot activities.
To connect the train to the Remote Operation Centre, Alstom has developed an adaptable architecture that links legacy train control and management systems with a standardised interface for remote operation.
Additional cameras and sensors were installed on the test train to provide the remote operator with the necessary situational awareness during shunting movements.
It is designed to be compatible with several Alstom train series used in Germany, including the BR423, BR430, BR442, BR490 and BR1440.
