马德里，11月3日——交通部长奥斯卡·普恩特周二对记者表示，马德里至塞维利亚铁路线路的服务将因上周的事故而减少，直至西班牙铁路安全局审查该线路的安全系统并且政府完成欧洲铁路交通管理系统（ERTMS）的延迟部署。
MADRID, Nov 3 - Services on the Madrid-Seville rail line will be reduced after last week's crash until Spain's Railway Safety Agency reviews the line's safety system and the government completes the delayed rollout of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), Transport Minister Oscar Puente told reporters on Tuesday.
该事故在西班牙中部乌尔达镇附近造成69人死亡。1月份同一条线路、同一家公司又发生一次事故，造成46人死亡。
The crash killed 69 people near the town of Urda in central Spain. Another in January, involving the same companies on the same line, killed 46.
上周三，因信号系统失效，多列列车被自动停驶，随后马德里中央控制中心接管。根据普恩特的说法，一列由国有铁路公司Renfe运营的列车被授权继续行驶，尽管前方停着一列由Iryo运营的列车。
Several trains were automatically stopped last Wednesday due to the failure of a signalling system, after which central controllers in Madrid took over. A train operated by state-owned Renfe was authorised to proceed, even though there was a stationary Iryo-operated train ahead, according to Puente.
调查人员估计撞击速度为160至200公里/小时（100至125英里/小时）。
Investigators estimated an impact speed of 160 to 200 kph (100 to 125 mph).
交通部长将接受议员质询 普恩特已排除辞职的可能，他将于下午5点（格林威治标准时间16:00）接受议员关于他处理自2013年以来欧洲最严重列车事故的质询。与此同时，佩德罗·桑切斯总理的左翼政府在11月29日寻求连任时批准了一项紧急援助方案，帮助事故受害者及其家属。
TRANSPORT MINISTER TO FACE LAWMAKERS Puente, who has ruled out resigning, was to face questions from lawmakers at 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) over his handling of Europe's worst train crash since 2013, as the leftist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, seeking re-election on November 29, approved an emergency aid package for victims and their families.
政府承诺将受害者的强制乘客保险赔付翻倍，加快赔偿支付，并改善临时失能保险。
It has promised to double compulsory passenger insurance payouts for crash victims, speed up compensation payments and improve temporary incapacity cover.
普恩特提出了新的安全措施，包括在信号系统失效时，司机需要自行发现前方障碍时的40公里/小时（25英里/小时）限速，增加人员配备并改善铁路控制中心的工作条件。
Puente presented new safety measures, including a 40 kph (25 mph) speed limit when relying on a driver to spot obstacles ahead if a signal system fails, hiring more staff and improving conditions in rail control centres.
政府还将推动更快地在其网络中推广标准化ERTMS，以提升安全和信号系统。政府合同显示，事故发生线路的ERTMS实施落后于计划。
The government will also push for a faster rollout of the standardised ERTMS for safety and signalling across its network. Its implementation is behind schedule on the line where the accidents occurred, government contracts show.
此外，普恩特表示，这将是全球首创，铁路系统将引入一名AI智能体，用于“检测异常并监控”列车司机与调度员之间的对话，以最大限度降低人为失误的可能性。
In addition, in what Puente said would be a world first, the railway system will introduce an AI agent to "detect anomalies and monitor conversations" between train drivers and controllers to minimise the likelihood of human error.
“我们不知道还有其他铁路系统使用这种机制或技术。我们将成为首个走这条路的国家，”普恩特说，并补充道，西班牙还将创建一个网络的实时数字模型。
"We are not aware of any other railway system that uses this type of mechanism or technology. We will be the first to go down this path," Puente said, adding that Spain would also create a real-time digital model of the network.
