High-Capacity Signalling Blueprint
Course Overview
This course will develop a solid and comprehensive understanding of High-Capacity Signalling, a worldwide trend for railways in growing cities with increasing mobility demand. It is presently the only training focusing on High-Capacity Signalling in the world.
Covering the use of both CBTC and ETCS for achieving the desired signalling capacity targets, this training can serve as the next step from Informa’s CBTC Masterclass or ETCS Masterclass courses, but it is also understandable as a stand-alone training.
Who Should Participate
In previous live and online runs, this training has proven suitable and beneficial for railway professionals of various disciplines and levels of prior signalling knowledge, from complete beginners to seasoned signalling specialists.
Past participants have included project managers, senior and principal engineers, consultants, Business Development, engineering managers, network modellers and executive leaders in rail planning, operations, and business development.
Key Benefits
- Key definitions of capacity and when it is considered ‘high’
- Why High-Capacity Signalling is the most effective way to increase railway capacity
- Constraints for signalling capacity and how to overcome them
- Foundations of CBTC technology and its features supporting High-Capacity Signalling
- Foundations of ETCS technology and enhanced varieties supporting High-Capacity Signalling

Webinar: The Two Keys to High Capacity Signalling
In this webinar, Dr. Frank Heibel explores the two essential priorities for achieving High Capacity Signalling using Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) and advanced forms of the European Train Control System (ETCS).
While both technologies share the same priorities, their order of importance differs — a critical insight for rail professionals seeking to enhance capacity, safety, and performance.
