Signaling X基于西門子成熟可靠的DS3平臺與Core Shield安全技術，在客戶自主管控的DS3私有云端，實現安全關鍵功能與非安全關鍵功能的安全、可靠運行。由此構建的標準化信號生態，助力行業從依賴專用定制硬件的傳統系統，轉向靈活高效的數字化信號應用環境。

Signaling X四大核心理念，定義軌道交通數字化未來

1. 模塊化軟件架構

作為核心，該架構為城軌與鐵路提供統一算力平臺，賦予運營方快速部署、適配與系統擴容的靈活性，無需承擔高昂改造費用，也避免不必要的運營中斷。

2. 云端集中部署

信號功能上云后，所有核心數據統一匯聚至單一信號數據中心，采用商用通用硬件運行。統一環境簡化信息獲取，支持實時協同，大幅減少復雜物理基礎設施需求。

3. 標準化開放接口

通過標準化應用程序接口（API），實現信號系統、診斷系統與優化系統間的無縫交互。開放接口支撐全網真正的互操作性，為智能自動化與高級數據分析筑牢基礎。

4. 全平臺內嵌安全

網絡安全能力深度融入平臺全流程。西門子Core Shield安全方案構建堅固防護體系，在持續演變的數字威脅環境中，保障數據完整性與運營連續性。

重新定義運營效率與性能

Signaling X的核心價值在于高效。依托高性能多核CPU的DS3平臺替代專用硬件，節省空間，簡化安裝與維護流程。

運營方可實現運營效率提升最高20%、建設投資降低15%；平臺采用異地雙信號數據中心的地理冗余設計，即便在系統更新期間也能保障全系統可用。軟硬件解耦后，運營方可遠程完成更新，不影響運營服務與安全認證。結合歐洲列車控制系統自動駕駛（ATO over ETCS）、基于全自動運行系統（GoA4 with CBTC）等先進自動化技術，Signaling X可縮短列車追蹤間隔，安全提升線路運力。

構建互聯互通的軌道交通生態

除運營效益外，Signaling X為數據驅動的互聯互通軌道交通基礎設施奠定根基。平臺標準化接口打造開放生態，支持高級分析、預測性診斷，可與現有的自動化工具深度集成。這種互聯互通不僅優化運營流程，更提升長期擴展性，適配未來的客流需求，為更大范圍交通生態的運營優化創造可能。

成熟技術賦能下一代系統

Signaling X的技術潛力已在新加坡實景演示中得到驗證—這是全球首個云端安全運行的CBTC項目。測試充分證實了該技術的可靠性、靈活性與高可用性，彰顯技術創新與運營穩定可完美兼容。

Signaling X標志著軌道交通行業迎來重要轉折點：信號系統從孤立組件集合，升級為智能、可靈活適配的服務平臺，實現效率最大化、一體化網絡安全簡化，助力運營方迎接數字化軌道交通成為行業新標準的未來。

Signaling X: Siemens Mobility’s ‘cloud revolution’ in rail signalling

Siemens Mobility is positioning Signaling X as the backbone of a new, cloud-based era in rail signalling, bringing modular software architecture, standardised interfaces and embedded cybersecurity into a single digital platform. The company will be presenting the project at RailTech Europe, which gets under way tomorrow in Utrecht.

Rail signalling is entering a new technological era, one defined by software modularity, cloud integration, and intelligent data management. With Signaling X, Siemens Mobility ushers in this next generation of digital rail solutions: a cloud-based, hardware-independent signalling platform that unifies all mainline and urban automation systems in one seamless architecture.

Built on Siemens Mobility’s proven DS3 and CoreShield technology, Signaling X ensures the safe and secure operation of both safety-critical and non-safety-critical functions, in a customer-controlled private DS3 cloud. The resulting standardised signalling ecosystem enables a transition from systems depending on proprietary, purpose-dependent hardware to signalling applications in a flexible, high-performance digital environment.

Signaling X is built on four principles that together define the future of railway digitalisation. At its core lies a modular software architecture that provides a common computing platform for both mass transit and mainline applications. This modularity gives operators the flexibility to deploy, adapt, and scale their systems quickly, without costly reconfigurations or unnecessary downtime.

By moving signalling functions to the cloud, Signaling X centralises all essential data within a single signalling data centre, hosted on commercial off-the-shelf hardware. This unified environment simplifies access to information, supports real-time collaboration, and dramatically reduces the need for complex physical infrastructure.

Through standardised APIs, Signaling X ensures seamless interaction between signalling, diagnostic, and optimisation systems. These open interfaces enable true interoperability across the network and create the foundation for intelligent automation and advanced data analytics.

Cybersecurity is embedded throughout the entire platform. Siemens Mobility’s CoreShield solutions provide a high level of protection, through robust defence mechanisms that ensure data integrity and operational continuity in a constantly evolving landscape of digital threats.

Efficiency and performance redefined

At its core, Signaling X is about efficiency. Running on high-performance multicore CPUs, the DS3 platform replaces proprietary hardware, saving space and streamlining installation and maintenance. Operators can achieve up to 20% higher operational efficiency and 15% lower capital expenditure (CAPEX), while its geo-redundant design, using two signalling data centres in separate locations, ensures full system availability even during updates. By decoupling hardware and software, operators can apply updates remotely, without interrupting service or impacting safety certification. Combined with advanced automation tools such as ATO over ETCS or GoA4 with CBTC, Signaling X boosts capacity by enabling more trains to operate safely with shorter headways.

Enabling a connected rail ecosystem

Beyond operational gains, Signaling X establishes the foundation for a connected and data-driven railway infrastructure. The platform’s standardised interfaces make it an open ecosystem, one that supports advanced analytics, predictive diagnostics, and integration with existing planning and automation tools. This connectivity not only streamlines operations but also enhances long-term scalability for future mobility demands and opens the door for operational optimisation at the level of the wider transport ecosystem.

Proven technology for the next generation

The potential of Signaling X was recently validated during a live demonstration in Singapore, the world’s first CBTC operation running securely in the cloud. The test confirmed the technology’s reliability, flexibility, and uptime, underscoring how seamlessly innovation and operational continuity can coexist.

Signaling X marks a turning point for the rail industry. It transforms signalling from a system of isolated components into an intelligent, adaptable service platform, one that maximises efficiency, simplifies integrated cybersecurity, and prepares operators for a future where digital rail is the new standard.
