Spoorbeveiligingssysteem European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS)
This procedure concerns the implementation of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), a standardized signaling and control system for railways. The goal is to replace incompatible national systems across Europe to improve safety, efficiency, and the seamless movement of trains across borders. This affects the national railway infrastructure, train operators, and passengers. It ensures that rail transport is more interoperable, reducing delays and technical barriers for cross-border rail travel.
