Alstom’s new remotely controllable computer-based interlocking system, which was produced for Rete Ferroviaria Italiana , has now been activated at Bari Parco Nord.
The €7.6 million project involved replacing the previous electromechanical system with Alstom’s Smartlock 400 GP system, and other related works such as: the installation of electrical power supply, telecommunications, air conditioning, fire alarm and extinguishing and access protection equipment.
“The collaboration with RFI to obtain the authorisation of the National Railway Safety Agency was a determining factor in ensuring the success of this project, which involved the implementation of a new product,” declared David Cannafoglia, managing director of Alstom Bologna.
