Kontrons E² brain Module Monitors Train Management Systems

The AGC (Autorail Grande Capacité) from Bombardier is a part of the latest generation of regional trains for local and long-distance travel. Ensuring that the train offered excellent safety, comfort and value was the priority for the Bombardier engineers who developed it. The train management system, whose hardware and kernel functions were developed by Kontron, is the foundation that Bombardier built on to achieve this aim.

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) employed for the operation and monitoring of the train management system is based on an E2 Brain module from Kontron Modular Computers, based in Kaufbeuren, Germany. The E2Brain is the RISC processor heart of the Bombardier GUI, which the conductor and maintenance personnel use to access the train management system.
