Professor Schindler was invited by Siemens Mobility GmbH to give a presentation about digitalisation on the Customer Day for the suburban and regional services on May 27 in Dortmund. Schindler approached diverse possibilities in order to improve the railway system by means of modern computer-aided technology. However, he warned about considering ETCS and EstW, as well as Big Data and APPS, as universal remedies. Investing in track and line will remain necessary as long as the ICE is only few minutes faster than the S-Bahn on the Cologne-Dortmund line.
