TARO

About the Project

The main goal of the project "TARO - Towards Automated Railway Operation" is to implement R&D projects in various parts of the railway system that make significant contributions to its automation and digitalization. The thematic focus for FH OOE Campus Wels is in the area of Automated Train Operation (ATO). Concrete pre-ATO projects for regional railways are to be advanced. These include, among others, the prototypical development of a train protection system for regional rail lines and a project for "communication & supply of autonomous digital elements along the track". One outcome, for example, will be a demonstrator for a highly automated, energy self-sufficient railway crossing.
