Page 19 - HIMA GROUP REPORT - SEPTEMBER 2024

9/27/24, 1:19 PM HIMA presents smart solutions for the digital railway
of the HIMA Group.

HIMA will also launch its RaSTA implementation and demonstrate how it has been integrated into the
Open Safety Platform. This provides a highly efficient COTS approach for SIL 4 solutions in railway
automation. In addition, the company will showcase solutions that go beyond safety and cover aspects

such as Rail Electrification, Mobile Solutions, and Secure Ecosystems to ensure that the digital
transformation takes place without compromising on safety.

Chris Elliott, Global Head of Rail comments: ‘At InnoTrans, we are presenting holistic solutions based on
our Independent Open Safety Platform, which avoids being tied to proprietary systems.’

The technologies will be presented in show cases under the motto #safetygoesdigital, providing an in-
depth insight into the latest technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of rail transport.

Independent Open HIMA Safety Platform
Proprietary solutions not only lead to dependencies, but can also drive up costs. HIMA is taking a
different approach with the Independent Open Safety Platform. For example, the company is integrating
the RaSTA protocol (Rail Safe Transport Application) into its safety solutions to enable a future-proof
EULYNX implementation. This technology makes it possible to integrate the Standard Communication

Interface (SCI) into the application programme of HIMA safety controllers independently of the EULYNX
baseline used - creating flexibility for railway operators.

Railway Electrification
The safe and fast control of electrical circuits is a fundamental task in the railway industry. However, the

effort involved is often very high. With the acquisition of Sella Controls, HIMA has further strengthened
its portfolio, particularly in the field of railway electrification. The innovative solutions enable the control
and safety-critical shutdown of the traction power supply and thus ensure the efficient and safe operation
of energy management systems. At InnoTrans, the company will be showcasing solutions for traction

power control, such as "Conventional operational control" and "Safety-critical shutdown" which will be
