With Trainguard, Siemens has created a solution for the standard European train control system ETCS which satisfies the requirements of the TSI (Technical Specifications for Interoperability) and European standards.
TRAINGUARD 100 for ETCS Level 1
Trainguard 100 is the train control system from Siemens Transportation Systems corresponding to ETCS Level 1. In Trainguard 100, Eurobalises are used with the national signalling system. The data is transmitted to the train as standardised telegrams by means of transparent Eurobalises. The rail operator can thus modernise his network, e.g. replace old systems or improve safety wherever old systems would be uneconomical.
Trainguard 100 with (continuous or intermittent) infill functionality: In its extended form, the Eurobalise can be supplemented in Level 1 by Euroloop, or in simple installations also by aspect-clearing balises. The rail operator can thus achieve a better line utilisation or an increased line speed in certain areas by changing to a less restrictive signal aspect.

TRAINGUARD 200 for ETCS Level 2
Trainguard 200 is the train control system from Siemens Transportation Systems corresponding to ETCS Level 2. In Trainguard 200 the movement authorities (driving instructions) are generated in a radio block centre (RBC) and transmitted to the train using GSM-R / Euroradio. The latter processes the transmitted speed, determining its position by means of fixed balises, acting as electronic milestones, along the track. The rail operator can largely dispense with the trackside signalling and so minimise his infrastructure costs.
