Know the Control, Command and Signaling measures that ensure the maximum safety of train traffic"

In all industrial sectors it is important to have a signaling system that is optimally designed. Although in some cases this may be a fully automated process, it still requires engineers and highly trained personnel to know them and maintain their proper functioning. In this way, this postgraduate certificate seeks to delve into these aspects and components of the techniques of Railroad Control, Command and Signaling, maintaining an up to date vision.  

It is important to mention the in-depth study of the ERTMS and CBTC systems as the main references of modern signaling worldwide, which have become true standards in almost all metropolitan, urban and interurban rail networks. 

The experience of the teaching staff in the field of railroads, in different areas and approaches such as administration, industry and the engineering company, has made it possible to develop this practical and complete content oriented to the new challenges and needs of the sector. Unlike other programs in the market, the approach is international and not only oriented to one type of country and/or system. 

A 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
