Doctoral colloquium in the digital railroad test field

At the end of May, the doctoral students of the Chair of Railway Signaling and Transport Safety Technology met at the Digital Test Field Railway (DTB) in Scheibenberg for the annual doctoral colloquium. In a pleasant atmosphere, current research results and the status of dissertations were presented and intensively discussed. The topics ranged from considerations of reasonableness criteria, the functional validation of ETCS functions and the automation of ETCS balise planning to the simplification of regulations and methods of system modeling. As in previous years, the technical discussions in particular proved to be a valuable contribution to further scientific work. The program was supplemented by a presentation on literature management methods. A special item on the program was the tour of the DTB, during which the research infrastructure and current research activities were presented.
