This knowledge will be brought together with other railway stakeholders already involved in the S2R Programme to establish a comprehensive model/architecture, mapping the technologies and strategy for implementation of anew comprehensive railway system approach. A first release is planned by mid-2020, possibly with some additional intermediary steps.
With the development of information technology in railways, there is the need to establish an integrated and digital system aimed at providing a detailed framework and system architecture design.
