Communications Based Train Control, or CBTC, is an automatic transit control network. It
uses a variety of telecommunications technologies that allow two-way real-time communications between rolling stock (locomotives, freight cars, etc) and rail infrastructure.CBTC uses a reliable network that allows for highly-accurate location positioning. Designed for traffic and infrastructure management, CBTC’s advanced precision standards have increased travel speed and safety compared to alternative signaling systems.
CBTC uses proprietary communications, that are not specified with security by default.
Train control commands are provided using wireless communications, thus the perimeter is eliminated.
Advanced capabilities like ATO/ATP control key functions via digital commands, thus expand the potential impact of a cyber attack.
Uparalleled visibility into all assets in your CBTC system, including ATS, ATP and ATO, wayside and onboard.
Advanced threat detection that includes DPI into CBTC traffic the uncovers both application-level and network-level threats.
Automatically validates security controls to support your compliance to leading cybersecurity standards as
TS 50701, IEC 62443 and
NIST 800-82.
