IEEE ITSS Distinguished Lecture: Prof. Francesco Flammini
Within this IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026, Prof. Francesco Flammini (UniFI, SUPSI) will give a talk entitled "A Vision of Intelligent Train Control".
The talk will cover topics including:
- AI and advanced communication bringing optimisation, learning, and “self-x” capabilities.
- Dependability and measurable trust as challenges for certification.
- Future train control building on ATO, ATP, and supervision paradigms.
- Feasibility considerations such as explainability, autonomic computing, and digital twins.
- Traditional ATP as a safety envelope for energy-, comfort-, and capacity-optimised operation.
- Intelligent protection with signal recognition and obstacle detection to enhance safety through advanced driving assistance.
