Coupling Technology Lets Trains Join & Separate At High Speed
DirecTrain, an Israeli startup founded in 2021, is pioneering a Dynamic Coupling solution that allows trains to couple and decouple while in motion. This innovation aims to enhance train efficiency by enabling access to smaller stations without compromising the speed of express services. The technology utilizes existing infrastructure, requiring no extensive modifications. The startup has self-funded its development, investing around $1 million in a sophisticated simulator to test the concept. The first prototype is being developed in collaboration with British-French engineering company Certia and is expected to be ready by the end of 2025. This solution is poised to increase train efficiency, reduce congestion, and potentially revitalize trains as a primary mode of mass transit.

Increasing capacity on rail: why not couple moving trains?
Israeli startup DirecTrainSystems (DTS) is developing a technology that allows running more trains on a railway by coupling them while they are running. The company has conducted simulations and is now seeking funding to complete an operating prototype and partner with railway companies for testing. The technology, which can increase capacity by up to 40%, would require changes to just 1% of the existing rail infrastructure. DTS plans to initially focus on tests and installations on freight trains and aims to have a working product within four years. The system could also be implemented for passenger trains in the future. The technology has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions, increase efficiency, and provide a direct commute to cities.
