[The Spanish government announced that it will optimize high-speed rail operations] November 3rd, Spanish Transport Minister Puente announced a series of technical and operational measures for the Madrid and Seville high-speed railways at a press conference on November 3rd, local time, including reducing the frequency of high-speed rail trains before the new safety system is put into use. In addition, the Spanish Railway Infrastructure Management Company will install a new system for the high-speed rail control center and use artificial intelligence technology to monitor the system. Puente said this extraordinary plan is aimed at optimizing high-speed rail safety. The control center’s new software will include automatic alarms, electronic logbooks, a verification checklist system and optimized visual presentations so operators can clearly perceive the position of the train and the condition of the track.
