Integra-Signum requires the train driver to confirm distant signals that show stop and distant or home signals that show caution. If no confirmation is received or a home signal that shows stop is passed without authority, the train is stopped automatically. This is achieved by interrupting the power

instead of magnets - these transmit Integra-Signum data in the additional Packet 44 (the typical ETCS telegram is left empty). This migration required installation of a "Eurobalise Transmission Module" on rolling stock that uses the Swiss network. Euro-Signum should not be confused with ETCS, which

By 2017 Switzerland had almost completed installing ETCS Level 1 throughout the railway network, however most trains continue to use Integra-Signum and ZUB (in the form of Euro-Signum and Euro-ZUB). Integra-Signum will also remain in service for a few years more on a small number of special lines;

The locomotive's sending magnet is a strong permanent magnet, which induces a current in the receiving magnet in the middle of the track, if the signal's short-circuit contact is closed. The receiving magnet on the locomotive consists of two magnet field detectors, which detect the signal's state

Because Integra-Signum can only stop a train when it's "too late", i.e. after the red signal, it is not sufficient if there is an obstacle less than the braking distance away from the signal, which is especially a problem with fast trains. To address this issue,
