ENAIRE, the manager of air navigation services in Spain, has developed a strategic plan for 2017-2020 that includes an investment of 300 million euros during that period. Traffic is expected to grow 16% over the next four years, which will translate into 2.2 million flights in 2020.
Ineco’s experience with ERTMS, the European rail signalling system, supports the development of an innovative method to study how its implementation affects railway line capacity.
This coming 20th April will see the 25th anniversary of the opening of the first high-speed line in Spain, the Madrid-Seville AVE. The date is a landmark in railway history, as it is the day a new system was implemented with advanced technology which enabled new standards of comfort, quality, journey times and safety to be reached that had until then been unthinkable.
The major Single European Sky project makes an important step forward with the completion of the first SESAR development phase: seven years of intense work to modernise the European Air Traffic Management system, culminating in 63 solutions.
Ineco participated in Habitat III, the largest global event dedicated to urban development, which took place in Quito from 17–20 October. The company gave presentations on its experience in transport planning, sustainable mobility and services to the city. It was the third global conference –the first was held in 1976– which this time focused on the challenges faced by an increasingly urban planet threatened by climate change.
Ibiza airport launched a new space this summer. Measuring 186 m2, the new lounge has received domestic and international VIP passengers visiting the island, of whom there is a growing number year on year: only in July, the airport logged 2,880 private and executive flights, a 14.1% increase compared to the same period in 2015.
Ineco’s experts develop transport models which simulate and visually represent future flows of passengers and goods, demand and the development of all kinds of traffic at the local, national and international levels. These simulations are valuable, effective tools for the planning of all kinds of transport infrastructures and networks, improving design and optimising investment.
A consortium of which Ineco is a member will supervise the restoration work on this 377.8 km-long railway line, which connects the centre of Turkey with the Black Sea, until 2019. Built in the first half of the 20th century, it will be completely renovated and equipped with modern signalling systems.
Member States seek methods to make progress in putting the Atlantic and Mediterranean corridors in place. Two large routes for transporting passengers and goods, linking the main ports and urban nodes of southwest Europe with the large industrial centres on the continent.
Ineco has executed the Master Plan for Comprehensive Waste Management and the regulatory framework for Quito. The study aims to meet the requirements of the ‘Cero Basura’ (‘Zero Waste’) programme, which is based on raising awareness and managing effectively the entire lifecycle of solid waste in the Ecuadorian capital. A circular economy strategy founded on effective models and solid contemporary regulation.
