Description of the project:

The system to be developed addresses the important challenges posed by the requirements of future mobility to railway operators, such as total cost of operation and passenger pick-up. In addition to proposing a reduction in the assembly cost and the total cost of the product, this solution will ensure passenger comfort in terms of thermal, acoustic and vibration insulation, without weighing the weight of the solution. The pavement will also provide radiant heat to the interior of the carriage through an intelligent electric heating system that will optimize energy consumption due to the occupation of the carriage and that will be equipped with a multi-zone control system that will be responsible for self-diagnostics of faults and collection of relevant statistical information for the line operator.
