Introduction to EULYNX

Current position: Signalling has traditionally been set at the national level, which is hard to integrate when trains cross borders. It is expensive and harder to make interoperable. 

• EULYNX is the digitalisation of the railway signalling industry.  
• The aim is to create open, standardised interfaces between signalling system components.
• Modular approach to signalling, offering standard interfaces for interaction. 
• Reduces vendor lock-in and allows for modular replacement.
• EULYNX publish documents on the architecture and interface specifications.
• Covers architecture, components and interfaces.

EULYNX specifications cover:

1. Interlockings
2. Object Controllers
3. Points and point machines
4. Signals
5. Axle counters and train detection
6. Level crossings
7. IP-based communications (including RaSTA)
8. Cybersecurity and networking interfaces
