RAILKA is a global solution provider focused on the transport systems and the technologies which support them. Our market includes a wide range of technologies from the specific, such as signalling and train control systems, to the transversal, such as communication networks and control and supervision systems.
Moreover, we are aware of the digitalization process that is currently being developed in transportation systems which should be necessarily based in the modern telecommunication and computer technologies. That is why we understand the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as the core infrastructure element of the smart cities.
Signalling is the essential cornerstone of the railway system and it is responsible for safely controlling and protecting the railway traffic in order to prevent train derailments and collisions. The evolution of railway signalling in the last years, incorporating the latest technologies, has led this concept has been broaden to the modern Train Control Systems (TCS).
Train control systems include all equipment that monitors and controls train locations and movements in order to ensure safety. They are essential for smooth traffic, thanks to real-time monitoring and reliable communication channels.
Besides the classical signalling functionalities, such as safety and operational flexibility, more innovative ones provided by TCS are today essential, such as accurate train location, continuous and bidirectional train to wayside data communications and vital functions performed by on-board processors.
At RAILKA we are experts in all aspects of railway signalling and train control systems (ATP, CBTC and ERTMS), with a deep knowledge of the state-of-the-art about technologies, procedures and equipment in use today and deep knowledge of those planned for the future.
We offer comprehensive consultancy, engineering and advisory services with the aim of promoting a safer, more reliable and sustainable transport for Metro, Light Rapid Transit (LRT), People Movers and High Speed Lines (HSL).
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are vital to increase safety and tackle Europe's growing emission and congestion problems. They can make transport safer, more efficient and more sustainable by applying various information and communication technologies customized to the specific characteristics of the different systems of passenger and freight transport.
RAILKA develops consulting and engineering projects to improve people's mobility from the point of view of sustainability, road safety and energy efficiency.
We work towards offering flexible and scalable solutions for the development and supervision of transport in cities. These seek to increase the quality, service and efficiency of mobility through technology that will allow monitoring and control of the different indicators related to it.
At RAILKA we move ahead to a sustainable and safe mobility by managing transport in an integral and intelligent way as the backbone of smart cities.
We do not limit ourselves to providing specific or sectorial technological solutions. We are committed to the development of real smart and sustainable territories and cities based on energy efficiency and savings generated in the efficient management of public infrastructures articulated by intelligent transport systems, proposing projects designed from the needs and opportunities presented by the territory.
Digital transformation is a challenge that nowadays goes beyond the strategic plans of large organisations to extend to the main sectors of society and that must be approached from a global and strategic perspective.
Digitalisation, new technologies and innovation are enabling tools that allow us to better understand an increasingly digital customer in order to provide them with unique and personalised experiences and foster both the productivity of workers and the improvement of an organisation's processes. It allows streamlining decision-making and improving the efficiency of internal processes by reducing risks and increasing the value of the service offered.
At RAILKA we advise railway organisations on the development of strategic digitalisation plans, both from a top down point of view, starting from the business strategy in the field of digitalisation to define and identify the actions to be executed, and bottom-up, analysing independent initiatives to define the overall digital strategy of the company.
Our extensive knowledge of the railway sector allows us to guide engineering companies and transport operators to align themselves with the digital trends present in the railway sector. Taking the strategic axes of the European Union's digital policies as a reference, we develop the main points described therein, such as digital connectivity with the passenger/user, the promotion of 5G technology, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. We also do not forget the importance of regulatory aspects such as digital rights.
Communications and supervision systems are becoming increasingly important in transportation projects. The communication systems integrate the different equipment in the field (mainline, depot and workshop area) and provide the backbone of communication throughout the transport infrastructure, allowing its remote operation from a control center by sending information and orders.
At RAILKA we know that communications and supervision systems allow the safe operation of field equipment, as well as continuous monitoring and improvement. We have experience in the integration and commissioning of communications and supervision systems in all kind of projects related to transport.
We are all aware of the common challenges and problems posed by communication and supervision systems during the integration within a transport facility. We keep up to date with the new solutions that market and technologies offer to solve these problems.
Our goal is to offer the best solutions in the consultancy, assessment and engineering projects we are involved based on our previous experience in this changing field.
