A global signaling solution for main lines - ETCSEuropean Train Control System (ECTS) is the core signalling solution of ERTMS, the European Rail Traffic Management System for mainline networks, facilitating the creation of intra-European rail corridors. Created to allows seamless operation across borders and rail networks through its interoperable and secure functions, ETCS has proved its value in Europe and worldwide.

Efficiently managing mainline traffic - ARAMISWith ARAMIS (Advanced Railway Automation, Management and Information System), Thales manages the traffic of 52 000 trains a day, in operation in 16 countries on 72 000 km of track. Our system automatically controls, supervises and records the actual railway traffic, simplifying the management tasks of railway operators by detecting conflict and proposing optimized operational solutions. This traffic management solution is being implemented in 53 stations throughout Poland.

Innovating Passenger Information systems - APISAllowing to create, distribute and present transport related information correctly and in a timely manner is what makes APIS system stand out. This solution facilitates operators' tasks and ensures that passengers are provided with the information they need throughout their journey, to make traveling easier.

Preparing the future through our academic partnershipsThales has developed several academic partnerships in Poland. The most recent partnership was established in March of 2015 with the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT).
