Ansaldo STS wins the Finmeccanica Innovation Award 2011
15.05.2012
Ansaldo STS has been awarded a Finmeccanica Innovation Award 2011 with the “G-SAE” project. A device that, using satellite signals, enables the position of a train to be defined with an accuracy such that it can replace the devices installed along the railway line. This positioning precision is achieved by reception from satellites in a number of constellations (GPS, GLONASS and, in the future, Galileo).
It represents a highly innovative solution, that may cause a revolution in the railway signalling market contributing to a more efficient management of rail traffic.
The G-SAE will see its first application under the contract signed May 2, 2012. This contract provides to deliver the first two phases of a staged signalling and communications system for the Roy Hill Iron Ore Project Mine’s heavy haul rail Line, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It planned to also use it in Europe and in Italy for local and regional lines.
The “G-SAE” project was the winner among the 1,011 projects presented during the 2011 edition, of which only 15 reached the final and were assessed by an international examining committee.
