📋 Tender Overview
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana brings its technological excellence to Expo 2020 Dubai. The opportunity is provided by the international event New technologies for safe and sustainable infrastructures during two panels organized to discuss the upcoming challenges of railway mobility and the development of sustainable resilient interconnected and accessible infrastructures for an unprecedented commitment in in line with the Pnrr .At the center of the two meetings the monitoring at 300 km h of the state of health of the infrastructure through the new high-speed diagnostic train Diamante 2.0 and the ERTMS Urban an innovative technological system aimed at further improving the circulation of trains and increasing their frequency. in metropolitan nodes a technology with the same characteristics of the classic ERTMS system installed on the High Speed lines but used with specific operating methods on local lines in the vicinity and within large cities.The event is attended among others by Anna Masutti and Vera Fiorani President and CEO of the Italian Railway Network.DIAMOND 2.0 ARRIVES AT EXPO 2020 DUBAIDiamante 2.0 is the new RFI train capable of monitoring the status of the high -speed high-speed railway lines and those with the greatest traffic . On the occasion of the Dubai event it was presented for the first time in virtual mode thanks to the use of augmented reality it will be possible to get on board and discover all the characteristics of the new diagnostic train to which during the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the railway infrastructure is associated with predictive diagnostics that allow you to intervene in advance before a breakdown or anomaly occurs. Fruit of Italian excellence and concentrated high technology Diamante 2.0 will take care of control supervision and network certification . To obtain information on the health of the infrastructure RFI makes use of its widespread mobile diagnostic service its fleet of measuring trains comparable to real traveling laboratories is able to acquire and process the parameters and the specific characteristics of the various sectors of specialization.Diamante 2.0 is a Frecciarossa train consisting of 8 carriages and two locomotives where instead of seats for travelers real laboratories are installed that speed at 300 kilometers per hour measuring hundreds of parameters . On board are installed 98 cameras and over 200 sensors placed on the roof in the underbody and on the trolleys near the wheels to monitor data and values aimed at analyzing the conditions of the railway infrastructure such as for example geometry and wear. of the track the interaction between the wheel and the rail the quality of energy collection from the overhead power line signaling telecommunications. A massive renewal plan for the current fleet is underway which provides for the gradual decommissioning of vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life and the consequent commissioning of new and innovative diagnostic vehicles . Diamante 2.0 will be the first of these to be put into service.The renewal project envisages a significant increase in the number of diagnostic trains serving the territory and is based on the principles of redundancy and diversity of systems mission profiles and operators such as to guarantee a reliable available and resilient diagnostic service. It is also in perfect synergy with the policies and objectives of mission 3 of the PNRR aimed at increasing the safety capacity and capillarity of the railway system and the quality of the service offered. The construction of the Diamante 2.0 diagnostic train also represents a challenge in the Project Management area several contracts have allowed the realization of this technological convoy all stipulated with Italian companies with 100 made in Italy workers and know-how . The amount invested was 22.7 million in the technology sector and 16.2 million for rolling stock for a total of 38.9 million.ERTMS URBANDuring the second panel within New technologies for safe and sustainable infrastructures the ERTMS Level 2 Urban version developed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana a system that aims to increase the capacity of railway traffic and make more fluid circulation to meet new mobility needs .ERTMS Urban improves the punctuality of trains by reducing the average distance between two signals from 1200 meters to about 300 meters allowing trains to travel closer together. This technology implemented both on the ground and on board increases the capacity of the existing railway infrastructure for greater regularity and frequency in the railway circulation of the nodes avoiding impactful interventions from an economic and urban point of view with benefits for the whole Transport . Local Public .To make the most of the potential of the ERTMS Urban system the rolling stock must necessarily meet certain technical characteristics. The potential of the system can be exploited in fact exclusively by specific trains with a blocked composition extremely performing in braking and deceleration and above all with the implementation of the Train Integrity functionality on board. The application is currently foreseen for the sections of the RFI network in double equipment or with ERTMS superimposed on the traditional SCMT signaling system and with the presence of lateral luminous signaling. The first urban nodes to be equipped will be Florence Rome and Milan with the simultaneous adaptation of the rolling stock.
