The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a train protection system designed to replace the many incompatible systems used by European railways, and railways outside of Europe. ETCS is the signalling and control component of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).
ETCS—"Eurobalise" transceiver, installed between rails, provides information to ETCS trains.
