Siemens Mobility, Rostocker Straßenbahn pilot Signaling X for urban rail in Germany

(AWP Alliance News) - Siemens AG entered a pilot collaboration with Rostocker Straßenbahn to trial its Signaling X rail signaling platform in urban public transport in Rostock. The project deploys a software-defined interlocking based on Siemens' DS3 safety platform on standard commercial off-the-shelf IT hardware for the tunnel section under Rostock Central Station.

Siemens is positioning the trial as a step toward replacing proprietary signaling hardware with software-based systems to speed upgrades, cut maintenance complexity, and support digitalization. The pilot follows earlier tests at the Singapore Rail Test Center.
