Short History and Current Trials
Accidents in Hannover and Frankfurt led üstra and VGF to collaborate
Trials in both locations since early 2014, other operators also began trials in 2015
üstra system is warning only
VGF system includes predictive braking

Effectiveness
Small scale trials so far -> Unable to quantify effectiveness
From the Automotive world…
IIHS: 23% reduction of rear end collisions using warning alone, 40% with automated
braking in cars*
From the Rail world…
UITP: Possible braking distance reduction by 20% to 40% in light rail**
Potential payback period as little as two years***

Light rail collisions impact cost, safety and punctuality
Technical evolution over revolution is the key to achieving cost effective automation
Existing automotive technology can provide evolutionary steps
Systems exist and trials are already underway
Research is promising and outcomes are imminent
Light rail collisions are therefore a thing of the past
So what we have learnt?
Questions?
