Adif has been working since 2019 on a project to reduce "the probability and the effect" of human errors in communication with trains

Adif has been working since 2019 on a project to digitize train communication orders to reduce human error. The railway manager has allocated €2.9 million to three contracts and is currently tendering another. The existing system relies on handwritten records, which Adif acknowledged as prone to errors. A tragic accident highlighted the risks associated with this method, prompting the need for digital solutions. The project aims to implement an electronic logbook to enhance communication and safety, with a pilot test planned for 2027. Despite the initial timeline, the deployment has faced delays, and the full implementation is still pending.
