Fraunhofer FOKUS has developed a new solution for digital dome projection in close cooperation with Carl Zeiss. It allows digital images and videos to be displayed on a concave hemisphere using standard projectors and commercially available PCs – without loss of quality even in the case of high-resolution images.

To overcome national, incompatible signaling and train control systems in Europe, the EU has initiated the project “European Train Control System” (ETCS). For this reason, 44 partners from 11 European countries work together in the project OpenETCS to develop an integrated model, development, validation and testing framework.
