Sep . 2005 --  Apr  2008
Senior Systems Design Engineer

Bombardier Transportation is the global leader in the rail equipment
manufacturing and servicing industry.The speed of the train is continuously
measured and monitored. ATC-systems also ensure that stop signals along the line
are recognized in time and not passed through. The modern ATC-technology signals
to the driver in advance when to brake or, if necessary for safety reasons,
automatically start the braking process. This optimized combination of automatic
train control and traffic management systems makes for higher train frequency
and, hence, line capacity at an increased level of passenger safety.
