The project aims to close the ETCS gap between the German Unity No. 8 (VDE 8: Nuremberg – Berlin) and German Unity No. 9 (VDE 9: Leipzig – Dresden) transport projects. The abbreviation ETCS stands for the European Train Control System, which is standardised throughout Europe. This will be introduced on the line in Level 2 without signals (ETCS L2oS). The Leipzig – Riesa section is located on the "Orient/Eastern Mediterranean" trans-European transport network corridor (TEN corridor).
The installation of ETCS L2oS involves the replacement of the national train control system (LZB: Linienförmige Zugbeeinflussung) and the existing electronic interlockings (ESTW: Elektronische Stellwerke) with digital interlockings (DSTW: Digitale Stellwerke). The DSD vision and DB InfraGO's Operations Control Strategy (BSS: Betriebssteuerungsstrategie) will thus be implemented with the construction of the Leipzig-Engelsdorf operational center (BSO: Bedienstandort) and technical systems center (TSO: Technikstandort).
