The authors describe the development process of the new and innovative Nexans DuoTrack cable with corresponding components which together provide a complete all-in-one cabling system solution for regional railway lines. The design concept is presented together with the extended qualification program, which was necessary because of the very specific and harsh environment of direct rail installations. The accompanying field studies and trials are also reported. They were necessary to examine the behavior of the DuoTrackCS; system in its very complex field of application. The first pilot installation at the Odenwaldbahn in Hesse, central Germany, is described, explaining the all-important preliminary economic evaluation of the system, the stimulus for its later development. An overview is given concerning further prospects in Germany and the chances for using the product on regional lines in other countries, as well.
