Railway
Safety, Quality, Certification.
The railway sector is shaped by technological, regulatory, social, and organizational requirements. FSQ Experts supports companies in the railway industry in the key areas of reliability, availability, maintainability, safety & security, and testability (RAMST).
Aktuelle Herausforderungen
Zu den zentralen Herausforderungen im Bahnsektor gehört an erster Stelle eine leistungsfähige, intakte und auf aktuelle Anforderungen ausgelegte Infrastruktur. Die klassischen RAMST-Leistungen sind deshalb die Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung von sicheren innovativen Produkten. Zunehmend prägen Digitalisierung und KI die Branche. Damit verbunden sind völlig neue Themen wie der sichere Einsatz von KI in der Entwicklung, beispielsweise zur Überwachung von Gleisen und der Personen-Erkennung. Cyber Security und Cyber Resilliance (Cyber Resilliance Act) kommen als zusätzliche Aufgabenfelder hinzu.
Diese Herausforderungen erfordern eine umfassende Strategie, die sowohl technologische Neuerungen als auch regulatorische und gesellschaftliche Anpassungen umfasst.
