Creating a
turnkey solution for
a laborious process
Railergy is on track to deliver in 2024 the first
autonomous locomotive certified on public utility in the
world. The introduction of automatic train operation
(ATO) will help significantly increase capacity,
availability of trains and speed of travel. With the use
of Applanix POS LV and high accuracy HD maps and
real-time positioning on the maps, the autonomous rail
yards of the future are within reach.
The first trials were in the Munich North shunting yards
in December 2021. Evaluating the system presents a
significant challenge due to the difficulty and expense
of shutting down the railyard to accurately test the
system. To avoid significant disruptions to an operating
train line, Munich North built a separate testing yard
with the lab on the rail car. Events and demonstrations
of the system draw interest from other train operators
across Europe.
