Delivering ETCS with Confidence
The European Train Control System (ETCS) is transforming rail networks worldwide. In Australia, ETCS is key to creating a safe, interoperable, and future-ready rail system. At SYSTRA, we help rail stakeholders deliver ETCS with confidence, minimising risk, enhancing safety, and ensuring new systems perform as intended.

Building Australia’s Interoperable Rail Future
SYSTRA has long advocated for the benefits of interoperability and ETCS in Australia. By supporting clients, governments, and operators to deliver ETCS successfully, we are helping to create a safer, more efficient, and unified national rail network.
Our industry has taken a monumental step forward with the decision to adopt ETCS as the technology of choice for the National Network for Interoperability. This enables us to start planning and preparing for the challenges ahead.
We must now work together as an industry to define and implement the framework and standards required to deliver the benefits promised by the adoption of ETCS.
