The Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH), headquartered in New York, N.Y., has awarded Ansaldo STS (STS.MI), through its subsidiary Ansaldo STS USA, a contract in the amount of $24.7 million to supply a Train Control Center system.

Ansaldo STS USA is centralizing the PATH communication network into one, fully integrated system, which includes:

• Centralized traffic control (CTC)
• Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
• Closed circuit televisions (CCTV)
• Integrated voice communications

The CTC system is based on Ansaldo STS USA’s Hermes platform, an office control solution that features advanced routing algorithms, integration with security systems, passenger information systems, voice telecommunication and enterprise management systems.

“We are proud to provide PATH with this state-of-the-art central control system,” said Jeremy Hill, vice president and COO of Ansaldo STS USA, “and we will continue to support their commitment to quality systems and the safety of their passengers, employees and community.”
