Railway engineering and signalling systems
Engineering for railway signalling
Intecs Engineering designs, develops, customises and tests software and systems for railway signalling applications. Its expertise includes on-board software and independent verification and validation of safety-critical software and systems, with reference to CENELEC EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129.
Today, the railway market is focused on increasingly innovative solutions in the rail sector, ranging from software development to production-line processes, through the phases of design, development, management and testing. Examples include Automatic Train Protection and Control Systems (ATP and ATC) and Automatic Train Operation (ATO).
Safety-critical railway systems and certification support
Intecs Engineering applies expertise gained in safety-critical aerospace and defence systems to the railway sector. Collaboration with railway safety certification bodies in Italy enables the company to support customers through the safety certification process for their products.
Railway innovations
Intecs is committed to developing innovative railway solutions based on the most advanced technologies. These include Artificial Intelligence, satellite positioning systems, and ATO (Automated Train Operation), which represent key areas of evolution. In particular, satellite positioning can offer a more efficient alternative to traditional trackside systems, while ATO systems pave the way for the automation of train driving, extending to the railway sector experience already well established in metropolitan transport.
On-board software and Safety Communication Layers
Intecs also specializes in the development of on-board software layers, including Common Software for architecture management, vital Safety Communication Layers, and software specifically designed for equipment.
Operating system porting, bootloaders and drivers
Among the other solutions developed are the porting of operating systems and the development of boot/loaders tailored to specific hardware and system requirements.
Verification and validation of railway software and systems
Specialized software- and system-level expertise also includes the independent verification and validation of software and safety-critical systems, in compliance with CENELEC EN 50126, 50128 and 50129.
