Welcome!
> My name is Artur Wolnica
I lead my own consulting company, providing independent consulting services in railway signaling with expertise in advanced signaling systems such as ETCS, and ERTMS.
My professional career spans 13+ years of experience across both managerial and engineering roles.
> As a manager, I have:
– Led internal and external engineering teams within the railway domain
– Collaborated with customers and suppliers across international projects
– Recruited and developed engineering departments to build robust technological centers
– Managed multiple cross-country projects involving ETCS and ERTMS systems
> As an engineer, my experience includes:
– Integration of safety-critical systems
– Verification and validation (V&V)
– Data analysis and laboratory testing
– Testing systems installed on vehicles
COOPERATION
I work with management, engineering teams, and technology companies involved in railway signaling and safety-critical systems.
I support organizations at different stages of railway projects – from requirement analysis through system integration and execution.
> Beyond project consulting:
– MIRSE Member 🏫 — Member of the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers.
– Executive MBA 🎓 — Completing an Executive MBA (CEMBA) at SGH Warsaw School of Economics.
– AI Advisory 💻 — I help teams evaluate and integrate AI tools and methodologies into railway signaling work.
– Author 📚 — I write for NewInSignal.com, where “Artur's Corner" covers implementation and the realities of railway signaling projects. I also publish an series on interoperability, cross-border operation and the barriers slowing European rail integration.
