The first Polish EULYNX interface
Kombud Group was the first Polish company to create a data exchange protocol compliant with the EULYNX standard. The software enabled the integration of Kombud's MOR-3 dependency system with object controllers. At the same time, Kombud signed an agreement with the Finnish company Relesoft for testing in the EULYNX simulator, which will facilitate further software development and certification after the tests are completed.
– For many years we have been striving to introduce a uniform standard of interfaces for control systems. We believe this will facilitate fair competition among certified manufacturers. By presenting the first Polish EULYNX interface, we have demonstrated our high competence in the area of control system development – says Mariusz Maciejewski, vice president of Rail-Mil, a research and development company belonging to Kombud Group.
EULYNX unites European research and development centers, railway infrastructure managers, and control system manufacturers. The goal of EULYNX is to create a uniform standard for railway traffic control systems. The standard is based on an open, modular architecture and allows for the integration of various components and suppliers. These solutions are being implemented by railway infrastructure managers across Europe. The Central Communication Port is already a member of the EULYNX consortium, and PKP Polish Railway Lines also signed a declaration of accession during TRAKO.
– It is wonderful to see new solutions and innovations within EULYNX. Collaboration and open standards accelerate the development of railways and support the implementation of digital signaling across Europe – said Mirko Blazic, technical director of the EULYNX consortium.
The agreement signed during TRAKO between Kombud Group and the Finnish company Relesoft will enable the company to further develop systems, conduct tests in a certified EULYNX simulator, and certify the solution after testing is completed.
– For Relesoft, this is excellent proof that our knowledge and experience are respected and needed in the signaling market. EULYNX is a new interface that makes simulations and reference object controllers even more important support in system development – said Markus Melander, president of Relesoft.
Already today, Kombud Group has several dozen interfaces connecting the company's systems with devices from various manufacturers, both at the basic layer, remote control, and various ETCS platforms. A common standard of interfaces in the future will help reduce the costs of maintaining systems, increase the safety of railway traffic and the punctuality of trains, as well as facilitate cooperation with other control technology providers.
Kombud Group S.A. brings together dynamic companies providing digital solutions for critical infrastructure and industry. For nearly 35 years, Kombud Group has implemented over 300 station systems for railways and subways, as well as over 2500 traffic safety systems at railway crossings. Kombud's computer systems manage traffic on the Central Railway Main Line (CMK), at the stations of the Warsaw railway hub, the Broad Gauge Steelworks Line, and on both lines of the Warsaw Metro. Over 700 employees, including 400 engineers, design, patent, and implement modern solutions for the metro and railways based on European standards. The subsidiary Rail-Mil Computers is a manufacturer of, among others, eurobalises, programmers, LEU encoders, and other electronic components, as well as the rmCBTC® system, which enables automatic train movement. The Kombud Group also includes the company Metroprojekt, which designed most of the tunnels and stations on the I and II lines of the Warsaw metro, and also obtained the first construction permit for the High-Speed Railway tunnel under Łódź in Poland.
