Introduction

In May 2018, the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) announced a railway project involving an investment of €22 million. The project, awarded to Indra, aims to enhance the railway’s capacity and safety through a comprehensive upgrade of its signalling systems.

Project Overview

The PAV’s railway project encompasses the upgrade of the railway signalling systems at the Port of Valencia. The project, which has a budget of €22 million, was awarded to Indra in May 2018. The primary goal is to increase the railway’s capacity and improve safety standards.

Indra’s Role and Technology

Indra is responsible for implementing the new signalling systems. The project includes the deployment of the ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) level 1 and the installation of a new Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) system. This upgrade will allow for more efficient traffic management and increased safety within the port’s railway network.

Project Timeline and Scope

The project’s scope extends to the entire railway network within the Port of Valencia. The works include the installation of the ERTMS level 1 and the CTC. The PAV expects the project to significantly improve the operational efficiency of its railway infrastructure. This Railway signalling upgrade is expected to be a key element for the port’s long-term operational goals.
