 The project, worth €231 million, involves the replacement of existing relay interlocking with new electronic interlocking systems at 68 stations that will cover 450 km of Taiwan’s approximately 1,110 km total railway network. The contract includes ten years of maintenance and the option of implementing electronic interlocking systems at another 10 additional stations.

Siemens Mobility will provide its electronic interlocking system Trackguard Westrace Mk II, based on state-of-the-art microprocessors; and for maintenance, the company will utilize the OMNES predictive maintenance solution. During the design process BIM technology will be used to enable the digital recording of the entire rail network as well as the use of digital models.

In addition, Siemens Mobility will install a prototype station with an interlocking based on the Distributed Smart Safe System (DS3), an innovative and digitalized safety platform, which enables the usage of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) server hardware and offers advantages like a geographical redundancy and limitless scalability.
