InnoTrans 2024: HIMA presents Smart Solutions for
the Digital Railway

Dubai, 26 September, 2024
At InnoTrans, HIMA Group will demonstrate how digital solutions make the railway sector safer and more efficient.
The Independent Open HIMA Safety Platform and comprehensive portfolio of safety solutions are tailored to light,
urban, and high-speed rail network requirements. Visitors can explore how these solutions can help operators and
system integrators to enter the digital age of rail transport smoothly by reaching the highest safety and security
standards, gaining flexibility and long-term benefits, and reducing life cycle costs.

‘At this year’s InnoTrans, we are presenting various new products and solutions with added value for our
customers by enabling maximum flexibility, integration and cost efficiency,’ says Jörg de la Motte, CEO 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
