Advanced Technological Innovation in
Transportation Systems
Maire Tecnimont plays a major role in the design and construction
of transport systems, including railways, and in particular Italian
high-speed lines, underground railways, highways, motorways
and tunnels. The Company provides a combination of hightechnology
and environmentally sustainable mass transportation
systems, with a full set of services ranging from environmental
impact assessments and other permitting activities to the
efficient management and coordination of specialist expertise.
Maire Tecnimont is committed to technological innovation in
Transportation System Infrastructure. The Group applies the
most advanced telecommunication and information technology
network systems to this sector, which leads to enhanced levels of
efficiency and passenger safety.
In 2001 the Tecnimont engineering department developed the
Communications Network for an Integrated Urban Transport
System, which was subsequently installed on the Turin automatic
subway. It consists of a fibre optics network using TCP/IP over
Ethernet to convey data, voice, high-quality audio and digital video
signals from underground stations to the control centre. It can
generally be used in any technologically advanced urban
transport system and represents the best telecommunications
solution in terms of flexibility, cost, and protocol and coding
algorithms standardization.
The Group is constantly searching for the most suitable partners and
suppliers in order to obtain the best system architecture by
integrating the electrical, traction, automation, telecommunications,
signalling and mechanical systems. We are currently evaluating
international partnerships and/or supply to complete our
technological package with the latest CBTC (Communication Based
Train Control) systems.
