This is a paper exploring the concept of the digital point machine, or more correctly the effects the Digital Railway may have on the development of and requirements for trackside equipment!
The move to a connected system for railway control will certainly open up opportunities to also connect the current ‘dumb’ devices but what will the new scope for this connected equipment be?
Will changes be driven by digitalization or will commercial and social changes have more
impact?
Will there be significant changes at all?
