Alpha Technologies S.A. has signed a ”
LOCOTRAC” contract, a research program led by
ALSTOM, in collaboration notably with
UCL,
CE+T and
SEE.
This program is funded by the Walloon Region.
The program will run for three years and is dedicated to the study of new signalling systems to run along the secondary tracks, which are less equipped than the main tracks, to show the position of the train.
The expected outcome should result in new ways to save both energy and sections of copper cable used for railway signalling.
