An EULYNX interface-based signalling system requires a new management approach. Traditional vendor-specific configurations and proprietary interfaces are being phased out in favor of a more strategic approach centered on open interfaces and modular signalling systems.
Relesoft is the right partner for infrastructure managers to perform in this challenging task. With our EULYNX Test and Simulation System every signalling domain expert can take better control of their signalling planning, configuration management and interface management. In long term view system is the turn key solution to ensure your signalling system to stay open and EULYNX compliant.
“The signalling system management applications has essential role in managing interfaces and signalling system through the life cycle of the total system. Traditionally there has not been good solutions and work is mainly done with excels and there is plenty of email exchange and version management challenges. Relesoft´s solution is making all signalling system management smoother. ”
Railway infrastructure manager
Railway Infrastructure Managers need tools to manage the EULYNX transition
The shift to EULYNX open interfaces is more than a technical upgrade—it is a strategic enabler for a more efficient, competitive, and future-proof railway signalling environment. It empowers infrastructure managers with flexibility, improves system resilience, and paves the way for long-term digital transformation.
During past years Relesoft´s technical team have developed a system and expertise to support infrastructure managers. The key points are outlined in the following list:
1. Vendor Independence gives more options
Problem with proprietary systems: Traditional systems tie infrastructure managers to specific vendors, limiting flexibility and driving up long-term costs.
EULYNX benefit: Open interfaces break vendor lock-in, enabling multi-vendor solutions, increasing competition, and encouraging innovation.
New competencies are required: Procurement and senior management must understand and define high-level objectives, ensuring the organization is aligned with strategic goals for the effective implementation and management of open EULYNX signalling interfaces.
2. Modularity and Interoperability
Old approach: Components from different vendors rarely work together without custom integration. These integration are controlled by the vendors and it denies bringing new solutions or makes them expensive.
New approach: EULYNX promotes modular architectures where standardised interfaces ensure seamless interoperability across components and suppliers.
New competencies are required: Signalling experts have to understand the technical core of interface management and what are the details in procurement level that matters. This is why configuration management and validation is essential task in ensuring transparent EULYNX interoperability.
3. Lifecycle Efficiency and Cost Reduction
Legacy issue: Upgrades, maintenance, and replacements are complex and costly due to bespoke solutions.
Strategic benefit: Open interfaces enable more predictable lifecycle planning, reduce integration complexity, and lower total cost of ownership, if procurement and contracts are properly prepared.
New competencies are required: New templates for procurement to ensure right approach and proper coverage in right wording.
4. Faster and Easier Deployment Time
Traditional bottlenecks: The signalling industry continues to rely heavily on legacy systems and proprietary procedures. Achieving consistent change requires strong commitment and a long-term strategic vision. Without sustained effort from clients, there is a risk that system will revert back to traditional – change is always heavy work.
With EULYNX: More suppliers can focus on improving individual components and the client have easy way to change a subsystem.
New competencies are required: Interoperability through open interfaces is a relatively new topic. It will fasten deployment time after learnt to do right.
Improved Signalling System Asset Management
- Challenge: Currently the cost of ownership on railway signalling is a problem. The asset management is not active work it is more reviewing and separate process from maintenance.
- Advantage: Standardised data formats and open communication protocols enhance visibility, diagnostics, and decision-making for asset managers. It also brings asset management and signalling system maintenance closer to benefit from each other.
Awarded Innovational System for Infrastructure Managers
- We offer to infrastructure managers an awarded innovation related to life cycle management for signalling assets.
- Concept has three operational service layers:
- Test and simulation system
- Configuration management
- Related expertise services to support Signalling System technical specification Procurement and conformance testing during FAT and SIT
For new markets we provide an affiliate concept where local partners are trained to use the system and provide valued EULYNX specific management and support services related to CCS system level management.
