The National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has conducted the first dynamic test run of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) trainset on the test tracks in Duhai depot with European Train Control System (ETCS) Level-2 signalling over the long-term evolution (LTE) communication network.
Officials said the test run was successful and the signalling system and the RRTS trainset operated with each other as per the technical expectations.
“The ETCS technology is widely deployed globally on the GMS-R communication networks in Europe and other countries. The GSM-R technology will become obsolete in near future. It is for the first time in the world that standard ETCS technology is being deployed on the LTE communication backbone,” said an official.
