CBTC—it's just what you'd expect from Union Switch & Signal, the industry's leader in rail safety, reliability, efficiency and dispatching solutions since 1881. While our technologies continue to advance, our mission remains the same-to make your rail network safer, more reliable, and more productive than ever before. Discover how we can keep your business on track.
Unlike the rigid, closed systems developed by some companies, our CBTC infrastructure employs an 'open architecture' that is both flexible in its modular assembly and easily adaptable as an overlay solution to existing systems.
US&S CBTC allows you to maintain peak operations with your existing infrastructure while upgrades are being implemented. In addition, mixed traffic operations (that is, the running of CBTC-equipped and non-equipped vehicles simultaneously) are also possible. This way, your fleet can be equipped in stages without limiting operations until upgrades are complete.
Finally our entire solution is completely scalable, easily allowing future extensions or modifications as your traffic needs change.
