The project "Border crossing Czech Republic: Dresden - Schöna - Czech Republic" closes the gap in the Berlin - Dresden - Prague route, which is part of the Trans-European Transport Network Corridor (TEN Corridor) Orient - East Mediterranean. The transport objective of this project is to make the Berlin - Prague route accessible across borders by introducing the standardised European Train Control System in Level 2 without signals (ETCS L2oS).

 

The introduction of ETCS L2oS is linked to the replacement of 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 Dresden Neustadt operational center (BSO: Bedienstandort) and technical systems center (TSO: Technikstandort).
