Alstom has been awarded the first €69 million tranche of a €214 million framework contract to deploy its ONVIA Control ETCS Level 2 signalling system as part of Queensland's The Wave program in Australia.
The project includes advanced digital train control technologies that will improve operational reliability, increase line capacity, and support a safer and more efficient railway network ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The announcement reflects a broader global trend toward intelligent railway infrastructure, with governments increasingly investing in ETCS, Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC), AI-enabled traffic management, and digital interlocking systems.
