Real-time rail tracking technology in Europe

Overview

Rail operators in France and Spain have introduced official mobile applications that provide real-time data on train locations, expected arrival times, and platform assignments. These services utilize infrastructure data to track high-speed, regional, and commuter lines.

Following these developments, the TrainTracker24 service launched in August, expanding real-time mapping capabilities to include France, Spain, and Belgium. This platform offers broader metrics such as average delay times, punctuality percentages, and cancellation rates, while also incorporating data for Eurostar and Italy’s Frecciarossa connections. The service allows users to filter by rail operators and infrastructure types, providing updates every 20 seconds to monitor disruptions.
