509 Indra is to deploy its advanced railway control, security and signalling technology on the high-speed rail lines between Valladolid and Leon and Venta de Baños and Burgos in Spain.  The contract, worth more than US$47 million also includes facility maintenance.

Indra will deploy the centralised traffic control system on the new line, together with auxiliary detection systems and security sensor concentrators, based on an innovative Indra safety platform. This is the vital processing system that guarantees the security of rolling stock and full integration with the various signaling systems.

The lines will also benefit from the latest version of Indra's signal announcement and automatic braking system, ASFA, and the Spanish automatic train protection (ATP) security system. The digital ASFA system has been installed on approximately one third of all trains operating in Spain, but this the first time that Indra has implemented the ASFA system on-track.

Together with Alstom and 513 Bombardier, Indra is part of the Adif consortium which won the contract to install ERTMS level 2 signalling systems on the new lines, together with maintenance for 20 years.
