Alstom ingår avtal att leverera signalsystemet Atlas 200 till den nya nordvästra höghastighetslinjen i Spanien
Ett Konsortium[1] lett av Alstom har utsetts av ADIF[2] att ingå ett avtal med ett totalt värde av 410 miljoner euro, som för Alstom inkluderar leverans av ERMTS[3] nivå 2 signalsystem samt underhåll av Spaniens nya nordvästra höghastighetslinje. Avtalet gäller för 20 år framåt och kommer att omfatta en 310 km ny höghastighetslinje från Valladolid till León, samt från Venta de Baños till Burgos. Alstoms andel i avtalet är värt cirka 220 miljoner euro.
The contract includes the project design, procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance of the signalling, the fixed telecommunication and the Automatic Train Protection systems, the centralised traffic control (CTC), the security equipment, the mobile GSM-R communications equipment and infrastructure for trains and mobile phone operators.
-This will be the second ERTMS Level 2 signalling system commissioned in Spain without ETCS[4] Level 1 backup support, after the one installed by Alstom on the Albacete-Alicante new high speed line. This configuration, made possible thanks to Alstom's technological expertise, allowed a significant reduction of the initial cost of civil works, says Antonio Moreno, Country President for Alstom in Spain.
Alstom is the world leader in ERTMS technology with contracts awarded in 23 countries covering 1,200 km and more than 4,150 trains, and has equipped six of the world's eleven high speed lines which use this technology. Alstom was also the first company to equip a very high speed line (the Rome – Naples line in Italy), a cross-border high speed line (from Liege in Belgium to the German border), a higher traffic density line (Mattstetten-Rothrist in Switzerland) and a freight-only line (the Betuwe Route in the Netherlands) with this technology.
About ERTMS / ETCS
ERTMS (European Railways Traffic Management System) has been developed to facilitate the expansion of the European Railways, including cross-borders operation. Its main constituent ETCS (European Train Control System) can be deployed with two main variants: ETCS Level 1 and ETCS Level 2. This system optimizes the line capacity in complete safety by anticipating and adapting the speed of the trains. The main advantage of ETCS Level 2 technology is its continuous train control and supervision via a radio-based signalling system, compared to ETCS level 1 systems which control the train through intermittent use of Eurobalises.
