Note for editors


The CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) traffic management system has been developed to
increase performance and efficiency of the underground railway systems of major cities. Unlike other
radio-based traffic management systems for railway applications, (ERTMS Level 2 and 3), CBTC
technology is not a standard and every provider has developed its own technology.
