SIDERA: innovative integral management for railway tunnels

SIDERA, THE INNOVATIVE INTEGRAL MANAGEMENT FOR SICE RAILWAY TUNNELS,  HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE TUNNELS MANAGED BY ADIF OF THE ATLANTIC RAILWAY AXIS, WHICH HAS 24 VIADUCTS AND 20 TUNNELS TOTALING 21.7 KM OF TUNNEL OUT OF 94.5 KM

SIDERA is a platform for monitoring and control of equipment with an incident management tool, that allows the remote control of safety elements: Emergency lighting system, Electric power system, Radiocommunication system, water pump level at tanks, CO level alarm at the Transformation Substation.

It allows to define alarm activation thresholds and the management of activation and deactivation of equipment for its maintenance.

SIDERA has resulted in a substantial improvement for the reduction of maintenance costs, and in the improvement of service levels. It controls all installed equipment, manages events, alarms and data collection ensuring a quick response to incidents from the operations control center allowing, therefore:

Improvements:

  • Improved user safety in a tunnel
  • Reduction of operation and maintenance costs
  • Smart incident management and equipment maintenance
  • Improvement of the reliability of systems and infrastructures
  • Efficient control of the equipment of the integrated systems

The most outstanding characteristics is the centralized integral management through its unified graphical HMI. Its expandable modular architecture facilitates the incorporation of technological advances and new functionalities, as well as the integration of third-party tools.
