ABSTRACT
In 2006, the opportunities brought about by new technologies allowed for the development of railway systems that had thus far not been met. ERTMS, the new signaling system aimed at equipping all networks in Europe should enable a train to run on all lines equipped with this system. Certain lines are already operational in Europe and many other equipment projects are being developed.

INTRODUCTION
In 2006, the possibilities offered by new technologies are enabling the development of railway signalling systems that meet needs that have never been met before.
ERTMS, the new signalling system designed to equip all European networks, should enable trains to run on all lines equipped with this system.
A few lines are already in service in Europe, and numerous other equipment projects are underway.
