20 DIGITAL FUTURE ON TRACK // DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE The digitalisation of rail transport will improve safety and efficiency in rail operations and make an important contribution to building the railway of tomorrow. Digital offerings and services make passenger and freight transport more appealing. Investing in the digitalisation of rail infrastructure will lead to the required capacity by increasing the density of transport services. Whether it be smart points, outagefree mobile connections, digital track or time­ table management, we are piecing together lots of large and small digital components to create the railway of tomorrow. /// DIGITAL PROCESSES Things run smoothly when processes are transparent – this strengthens teamwork and improves quality. Tedious and time-consuming tasks are automated. Digital communica­ tion optimises services for customers and partners and provide informa­ tion transparently and in real time. This speeds up the interaction be­ tween all stakeholders involved. Digital processes also streamline operational management and facility management. Data analytics ensures that processes are optimised and artificial intelligence helps to solve complex problems. The focus is on improving our core activities, achiev­ ing growth and developing new products and services. / DIGITAL RAILWAY OPERATIONS Our railway operations keep people and goods moving by rail around the clock – 24/7, 365 days a year, in all kinds of weather – reliably, safely and punctually. Digitisation is a key factor in this success – from time­ tabling to train preparation, digital signal boxes, uptodate information on the platform and in the driver’s cabin, and autonomous driving. With digital support, we are working on the railway of the future as well as on enhancing the overall performance of the system, in order to double capacities in the long term. The digital revolution of the railway has only just begun – and we are shaping it here and now. OUR SERVICE. / DIGITAL RAILWAY OPERATIONS // DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE /// DIGITAL PROCESSES MI
