Indra will install Da Vinci on the Antequera-Granada AVE to control and manage rail traffic

The Regulation and Control Centers of Antequera and Atocha will optimize their control systems, monitoring and communications thanks to Da Vinci integration, platform that has been developed by Indra in collaboration with Adif.

Adif has been awarded to Indra the implementation of the Da Vinci technological platform on the Antequera-Granada High Speed ​​line, which has a length of 125.7 km, for the management and regulation of railway traffic.

This project awarded to Indra has an amount of 984.275,8 euros and will provide the Regulation and Control Centers (CRC) from Antequera and Atocha to the Da Vinci platform, that integrates all control systems, supervision and communications necessary to manage and control the railway operation of the Antequera-Granada High Speed ​​line.

The system of Vinci, of intellectual property of Adif, integrates centralized traffic control, fixed communications and GSM-R, signaling, security systems, planning and regulation systems, energy remote control, video surveillance and control of station facilities and infrastructure.

The system of Vinci

The system of Vinci, developed by Indra in collaboration with Adif, It is the result of a strong investment in R&D&I and the work of 150 people for four years. It is a platform that integrates and automates all the processes and systems that make up a railway network..

Among the features it incorporates, Da Vinci offers a simulation environment that integrates all network elements, from signaling system to power system, as well as interlocks, ETC, trains… An environment prepared for user training, operators, capacity planning and testing plans.

The system contemplates the integration of all remote control systems (interlocks, energy, Ertms, detectors), exploitation planning, a real-time circulation monitoring system, future predictions of traffic conditions, automatic train routing, geographic information system, sending instructions to the drivers, helps traffic regulation, statistics, traveler information, fee billing, simulation and reconstruction of past events. It also allows information to be disseminated over the Internet and remote monitoring of all systems..

This platform is implemented in the Spanish high-speed network, in Feve's, the Medellín metro, in which since 2005 controls both traffic and the rest of the systems associated with this metro network, the london underground (Metronet) y, also manages Moroccan railway traffic.
