Problem

Customer needs, requests and opportunities from the market

The current solutions:

  • Lack automatization of control of rolling stock
  • Need large and expensive (wired) communication infrastructure
  • Offer limited access to information
  • Do not offer tracking information of rolling stock
  • Inauguraiton of composition is done manually, change also is manual and time consuming
Existing Alternatives

Train detection systems (TDS) - axle counter and track circuit - , manual (wired) On Board Train Integrity Devices, GSM-R communications…

Solution

ENACT Result

Wireless Wireless Logistics and Maintenance - ITS Use Case
Exploitation Form

Product (integration into existing portfolio)

IPR Background 

Indra's Wireless Train Logistics and Maintenance platform is an on-board platform that control and manages maintenance and logistics activities providing functionalities of data monitoring, orchestrated development, learning operations security threats, actuation conflicts and error source analysis.

Description 

INDRA will exploit ENACT results by integrating the ENACT enablers, tools and developments achieved during the execution of the project (Use case) into an existing rail traffic control and safety platform: - Integrating with the GeneSIS tool to deal with the rail devices orchestration and update processes - Integration with RCA and the Security and Monitoring and Control tools to supervisethe events that may occur and the security failures The ENACT results will create new value, adding wireless safety and trustable IoT capabilities, V2X and I2I communicaitons. This product will provide safety solutions based on IoT infrastructures for enhanced capabilities of Lines, Monitoring, Tracking, Maintenance and Logistic of both Freight, Rolling Stock and track equipment.

Key Metrics

KPIs

  • Reduction of costs for maintenance activities %
  • Reduction of time for maintenace activities %
  • Reduction of installation costs % and operational time%
  • Increase line capacity %
Time To Market / TRL at the end of the project

  • MS 1 - Middle of ENACT's lifetime: Define the IoT Services and testing new technology under development. Up to TRL3.
  • MS 2 - End of ENACT: End of the project we expect relevant results validated on a Real Rail Environment
  • MS 3 - After end of ENACT (2 years):The solution has been validated and evaluated for inclusion in the Indra InvitalRail product roadmap. If included, technology certificated and ready for commercialization. (inc. Portfolio)
  • MS 4 - 5 years later: First commercial results, new markets and customers. Standards, interoperability.

Unique Value Proposition

Value added by the solution

Cloud system that will allow the automization of control of rolling stock, access to data, wireless communications (which decrease cost of installation, deployment, maintenance, time while increasing line capacity and location resolution). - Network Service (access, distribution, transportation) - Easy to install, configure and deploy - Decentralized, safe and trustable - Interoperable and compatible with existing infrastructures - Compatible with all rail standards and ready to be integrated with ERTMS systems
