Software for automatic trains and metrolines

SONSYS managing PIS messages

Since 2019 part of Saitec activities has been addressed in designing, developing and implementing software for systems in Railway industry, in particular for Metrolines projects, for urban transport subways lines. Thanks to the collaboration with industry partners, we have acquired specific skills in developing software to be used for subsystems management of driverless subways.

We took part in Italian (Milan, Naples), European (Copenhagen CityRingen) and International (Lima, Riyadh) metro projects, developing software for both on-board train systems and the control center, capitalizing in-depth know-how of the most common technical problems in the sector.

Here below some of these projects:

MVB (Multifunctional Vehicle Bus) - SW for onboard ATC communication systems (Automatic Train Control).
Radio comunications - Sw for communication via radio between train and control center (Tetra Radio).
PIS (Passenger Information System) - Sw for managing information messages to passengers (Bosh Praesideo)
Data storage - Sw for storage and play of all the metro communications (PA - Public Announcement, ECP - Emergency Call Point, Calls)

Our Railways SW are developed in C# and are based on a modular architecture, which allows to manage all the main communication interfaces used in subway communication systems:

Duagon D017M
Motorola MTM5400
BOSH - Praesideo Network
BARIX - Clients

We usually release our software together with the test software we develop, in order to reproduce the functionality of the devices with which the software will interface, in order to test and validate it before on site integration.

We have been contributing to several projects for Railways industry, both for already existing lines and for new automatic trains and metro construction. Check out the dedicated page Ferroviario on Settori to read more.
