BELGORAIL performed the Independent Safety Assessment of the new signaling solution developed by Siemens Mobility for the STIB tram complex of De Wand, close to the Atomium in Brussels.

The assessed signaling solution allows the effective and safe management of the movement of tramways of the line 3, the line 7 and the line 19 in the complex of De Wand.

BELGORAIL carried out the Independent Safety Assessement of the Siemens signaling solution based on the S7 family automation according to the CENELEC standards EN-50126:1999, EN-50128:2011, EN-50129:2003 and assessed the conception, manufacturing, installation, test & commissioning stages and inputs to operation & maintenance.

The signaling solution was put into commercial service on the 24/09/2018 and since that date, on average, 1035 movements per day were performed in safe conditions.
