Järnvägsautomation

Alla nya höghastighetståg i Europa kör säkert tack vare algoritmer som Jens Braband hjälpte till att utveckla. I tre decennier har matematikern från Siemens Mobility säkerställt tillförlitlig kontroll av tåg och sammankopplingar.

From the transmission of critical data using the European Train Control System to the digital interlocking, his algorithms make standard digital technologies safe enough to be used in rail automation. For his accomplishments, the mathematician has been named Inventor of the Year in the Lifetime Achievement category.

I’ve contributed to a paradigm shift in safety technology. Technically, we call it a risk-based approach. It opened the door for the use of standard technologies like WiFi, GSM, smartphones, the cloud, and Ethernet for train and infrastructure control and communication, resulting in safe digitalization.
