| TrackSafe Revealed!On the 13th July, Bombardier unveiled its innovative TrackSafe technology at a demonstration at its test track facility in Kingston, Ontario. More than 40 potential customers and interested transit industry professionals spent the day experiencing the technology at first hand.
The demonstration featured the use of Station Level units to communicate vital information to Transit Control as well as Track Level units to update Roadway Track Worker positions.
