Summary

Machine-generated summary

The buyer intends to procure a new communication and computing platform for rail vehicles, replacing an outdated platform. The APFZ on-board system performs important tasks such as passenger information, and ongoing mobile network development requires modernisation. The new platform must maintain the data connection between the vehicle and trackside systems, enable communication with the vehicle control system and provide sufficient computing power for on-board applications. A compact, robust, fanless solution suitable for railway operation is sought, offering modern 5G technology, the required interfaces and a product and support concept with long-term availability.

Description

Das APFZ-System in den Fahrzeugen übernimmt wichtige Aufgaben wie die Fahrgastinformation. Da die heutige Kommunikationsplattform veraltet ist und die Mobilfunknetze laufend weiterentwickelt werden, muss das System modernisiert werden. Geplant ist die Beschaffung einer neuen Kommunikations- und Rechnerplattform für Schienenfahrzeuge. Diese soll die Datenverbindung zwischen Fahrzeug und den Systemen an Land sicherstellen, die Kommunikation mit der Fahrzeugsteuerung ermöglichen und genügend Rechenleistung für Anwendungen im Fahrzeug bereitstellen. Gesucht wird eine kompakte und robuste Lösung ohne Lüfter, die für den Bahnbetrieb geeignet ist. Die Plattform soll moderne 5G-Technologie, die benötigten Schnittstellen sowie ein langfristig verfügbares Produkt- und Supportkonzept bieten.
