Ineco has expanded the services it currently provides for Network Rail Consulting in Australia as a systems integrator. The contract is part of the Digital Systems Program (DSP), which aims to upgrade signalling to European Train Control Systems (ETCS) Level  2, that is part of the European ERTMS system, for the rail operator and manager, Sydney Trains. 

The new scope focuses on providing assistance in the definition of the ETCS Trackside/On board and TMS/Trackside integration test cases for the project. The main activities to be carried out by Ineco are: definition of the generic test cases list, detailed development of each test case, including traceabilitity to the DSP Requirements.

In addition, Ineco, that has been present in the country for three years, continues working as part of the System Integrator supporting the Program: systems design supervision (trackside and on-board ETCS, traffic management system, cybersecurity and fixed and mobile communications); definition of Signalling Principles and technical consultancy services.

Ineco will be providing assistance to the state-owned company Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited, part of India’s Ministry of Railways, for the acquisition of ETCS/ERTMS level 1 signalling systems for the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, one of the two that are being built, totalling 3,358 kilometres. The 1,300-kilometre Eastern corridor is divided into two sections: Dadri-Khurja-Bhaupur-Allahabad-Mughalsarai-Sonnagar (896 km) and Sahnewal-Pilkhani-Khurja (404 km). The project is being financed by the World Bank.
