Brief description of the device

The Sitet® XL driver’s cab terminal displays information both in plaintext and in graphical form. It can also inform the train driver with audible signals and voice messages. Because vehicles operate both under ground and above ground, the Sitet® XL is equipped with a brightness control, which ensures consistent lighting of the display area over the entire brightness range. To enable operation in an extended temperature range, the device has been equipped with a heating system.

Interaction between the vehicle control system and the vehicle driver is performed using a keyboard integrated into the front panel or a touchscreen.
