Implementation of Traffic Control Systems for High-Speed Rail in Poland

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This master's thesis focuses on the implementation of railway traffic control systems on high-speed rail lines in Poland. The dynamic development of high-speed railways worldwide, combined with planned infrastructure investments, makes it necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of modern railway traffic control solutions from a technical, organizational, and safety perspective.
