Project presentation U5 including digital twin / BIM

CBTC 

Next train generation for Hamburg's new line U5

PAST: improving energy efficiency of underground stations: optimising the operation of fans and lighting

PRESENT: over 3000 hours of sunshine annually: our solar photovoltaic plant grows

FUTURE: optimized operation of traction substations and trains, recovery of braking energy

With a regular-interval timetable and plans for additional lines, Hamburg's S-Bahn service will be significantly enhanced for passengers over the next few years. To create the extra capacity needed for these service improvements, S-Bahn operations must be digitalised. In July 2018, the Citz of Hamburg entered a partnership with Deutsche Bahn and Siemens Mobility to do just that. The pilot project for Hamburg's Digital S-Bahn showcases how new technologies based on ATO over ETCS can help improve the performance of local public transport in growing cities.

Heading to automatic metros, CBTC systems, means that the green and red lights don’t exist anymore: each train has to receive and exchange information in another way. The carrier there is radio waves. How can we guarantee that there will be no interference? A lot of users want to take advantage of the ease and portability of the waves, but frequencies are scarce resources.The ITS system is and will be more and more embedded in every car. The new 6GHz Wifi band is coming.Both of these upcoming technologies will be on or close to the frequency band dedicated to the DCS CBTC and may cause interference. Let’s see how to handle that and what we do to get an international reconnaissance of the importance of Public Transport in our cities. Upcoming ITS and relations with our Trams and Buses will also make part of the presentation.
