Launch of the Open Signaling Initiative

The Open Signaling Initiative redefines how rail and metro signaling systems are developed, deployed, and maintained. 

Signaling systems are today delivered as closed systems that have made customers dependent on the supplier for decades. When support and maintenance agreements expire, it is not uncommon that the whole system needs to be replaced, at high costs and with long service interruptions. Open signaling changes this paradigm entirely.

Inspired by the modularity and flexibility of earlier relay-based systems, and by open systems in domains such as IT/ICT, open signaling reintroduces freedom and adaptability into modern rail and metro signaling. It promotes open, modular, and interoperable architectures where independent components from different suppliers can seamlessly work together.
