Main Lines

 
Ansaldo STS provides full-service capabilities to large railway networks like India, France, Italy and the US. It supplies systems for new lines being built in fast developing countries such as China and Australia.
 
In Europe, the company is key to upgrading towards ERTMS, the new European Rail Traffic Management System, leading to the interoperability of differing country networks and newly-built High Speed lines.
 
In the US and in Australia our advanced planning and control systems provide vital end-to-end solutions that address the needs of freight, mining and heavy haul operators.
 
The signalling systems developed and commissioned by Ansaldo STS have over time set railway standards. Among these:
 

• SCMT, the Italian national train protection system  based on ERTMS;
• Heavy Haul & Mining solutions like those customized for Rio Tinto in Australia, with trains that are 2.4 km long and weigh 29,500 tons
• More recently, VPTC, being now implemented in Alaska, USA. VPTC, or Vital Positive Train Control, will become the very first vital dark territory implementation of positive train control in the industry. Only available from Ansaldo STS
