Pilot ERTMS project on course

The Córdoba - Málaga high speed railway lines in Spain will be equipped to operate with ETC Levels 1 and 2. Lineside equipment has been supplied by Bombardier for Level 1, and Siemens provided GSM-R for use with Level 2. The Dimetronic contract covers RBCs, the main control centre, lineside electronic units, ASFA equipment, jointless track circuits, and LED signals. Dimetronic is also in another consortium with Siemens and Alcatel to bid for ERTMS equipment for the 90 km high speed line between Madrid and Segovia, which will complete a high speed route from Madrid to Valldolid.
