Progress in the ERTMS Integration of Croatian Railways within Europe

At the beginning of the new decade, many radical changes await the railway infrastructure in Croatia with the aim of increasing the quality of the network and strengthening transport links with the rest of Europe. Synonymous with European interethnic integration and interoperability is the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), whose applicability has become far broader. In this article, the aim is to determine the current scale and future dynamics of Croatia's progress in the implementation of the ERTMS system and thus its integration into the European railway network. Progress in implementation is also observed in relation to other countries located on the common Mediterranean (MED) corridor and countries whose railway networks are similar in size to Croatia. In the national context, the results show a lag in the implementation and inconsistency in the realization of planned projects. This is confirmed by the convincingly low position among other countries along the Mediterranean corridor, but also in the context of railway networks of similar size as Croatia.
