Railway Safety Engineering

Over the last 20 years, Intecs has developed and tested safety systems for railway signalling applications in compliance with industry standards (CENELEC EN 50126, 50128, 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 systems

Building on the experience gained in safety-critical applications in the aerospace and defence sectors, Intecs has transferred this expertise to the railway field, collaborating with the leading railway safety certification bodies in Italy. This synergy has enabled the company to support clients throughout 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.

Software Layer Development

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.

OS Porting and Boot/Loader Development

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 solutions

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.

Intecs specializes in functional, integration and unit testing, and provides independent safety and compliance assurance services for the railway sector in support of a notified body.
