The podcast delves into the current status of ERTMS deployment across various European countries and its implications for cross-border rail operations.

Industry experts provide insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with the adoption of DAC and ERTMS. They discuss the technological advancements required for successful implementation and the potential impact on rail operators and infrastructure managers.

Listeners can expect to gain a deeper understanding of how these policies are shaping the future of rail transport in Europe, as well as the strategic importance of aligning with EU regulations.

The RF Podcast aims to keep industry stakeholders informed about the latest developments in rail technology and policy, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the sector.
