NGTC, coordinated by UNIFE, is made up of leading rail system signalling suppliers, mainline operators, infrastructure managers and urban rail operators. The GSA has been working with NGTC to provide consultation and advice when it comes to E-GNSS performance, and hopes to support the project further with the adoption of railways safety applications and such modern signalling systems as ERTMS.
Ansaldo STS leads NGTC’s work with the GNSS, and the organizations are expected to continue working together throughout the course of the year.
