The application of satellite technology in railways provides an inexpensive way to improve safety and capacity on certain lines by using virtual balises instead of physical track-based equipment. For several years, Ineco, Adif and CEDEX have been helping to develop these solutions through a number of European innovation projects. The most recent of these projects, RAILGAP, will be carried out over a period of three years.
Ineco is a member of the international consortium awarded the RAILGAP (Railway Ground truth and digital MAP) project, part of the Horizon 2020 Programme of …
14 companies from five EU countries participated in ERSAT GGC, an ambitious European project financed by the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA) that will allow the implementation of satellite technology in the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) through virtual balises.
The Ministry of Public Works’ Innovation Plan represents a commitment to digitisation, energy efficiency and sustainability reflected in 70 specific initiatives that have undergone a period of public consultation. February 2018 will see the launch of a coordinated process to transform the Spanish transport system to provide a high degree of personalisation and efficiency spearheaded by new technologies.
By 2023, Denmark will become one of the first European countries to have a full, and completely renovated, railway signalling network. Spanish public engineering company Ineco and the Cedex research centre have been collaborating with the Banedanmark railway infrastructure manager since early 2017 on the F-Bane project to upgrade the signalling on the Danish railway network.
The Danish public company Banedanmark (BDK) has commissioned Ineco to complete the operating scenarios in an ambitious renovation programme for the railway signalling of the …
