Ansaldo STS in Italy operates with two well defined business unites, Signalling and Transportation Solutions
 
The Signalling Business Unit operates in the design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems, subsystems and components for signalling, automation, supervision and traffic control for conventional, high speed and transit lines, aiming at increasing the safety, reliability and efficiency of railway and transit transportation.
 
The Transportation Solutions Business Unit specializes in the design, installation, integration, testing, commissioning and maintenance of “turnkey” railway and transit transportation systems. It may act as lead contractor and turnkey provider on major projects worldwide.
 
Ansaldo STS can satisfy the technical and contractual requirements of projects of any size thanks to their highly qualified personnel and its complete and innovative product portfolio that embodies the most advanced capabilities in the following fields:

• Systems Integration in the area of "turnkey" railway and underground transport systems
• High Speed lines
• Automatic Train Control, including the latest ERTMS / ETCS technology (European Rail Traffic Management System)
• Computer Based Interlocking
• Automatic Block System
• Operation & Traffic Control
• Wayside Signalling equipment

Ansaldo STS in Italy provide full-service capabilities to large railway networks in Italy and abroad.
 
In Europe, they are central to upgrading towards ERTMS, the new  European Rail Traffic Management System, leading to the interoperability of differing country networks. Recent contracts in Greece, Romania or the Czech Republic confirm this fact.
 
The companies is also leader in High Speed, where it can claim a presence in over 50% of world’s High Speed lines.

In Italy, Ansaldo STS has been key in the migration towards SCMT, (Italian Rail Traffic Management System), an innovative train control system compatible with the new European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS/ETCS) designed to ensure interoperability on the European rail network.
 
Ansaldo STS also offers the most technologically advanced solutions for Supervision and Traffic Control Centers as well as the most advanced, high-tech and safest components available in the market, conceived and developed in the factory that the company owns in Tito Scalo.
 
Last but not least, a special mention to its  ACC Multistation Interlocking, the perfect solution for networks of all conditions, be it High Speed, Main Lines, Freight or Metros.
                                    
ACC provides traffic solutions to stations of all sizes based on the most advanced technologies. Its integration with Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) and with Automatic Train Protection (ATP) systems has also been proved in High Speed applications.

For over a century, Ansaldo STS has delivered industry-first solutions for rail transportation. Today, its sophisticated transit control systems build upon traditional signaling technology for a new generation of advanced systems in-step with evolving mass transit needs.
 
Driverless Metros 
Ansaldo STS is proud of being the company which delivered world’s first fully driverless steel wheel metro certified to strict European Cenelec safety standards, the Copenhagen metro in 2002.
Following the Danish capital, the driverless technology by Ansaldo STS has become the number one choice for safe and efficient mass transit by metros in Rome, Milan, Thessaloniki and Brescia. Driverless ATC adds fully driverless capabilities to proven ATS, ATO and ATP technology.
 
CBTC 
From a single-line metro installation to a continent-sized railway system, CBTC’s fully integrated systems provide continuous high speed, two-way radio-based communication between wayside and vehicle. Carborne controllers determine vehicle position and enforce movement within authority limits. Communication between adjacent zone, interlocking and carborne controllers safely maintain headway and line capacities.
 

Conventional Metro 
Track Circuit-Based Automatic Train Control (ATC) profile-based transit along with ATP, ATS and ATO subsystems enable driverless and semi-driverless operation for heavy and light rail transit. Proven, reliable technology in revenue service throughout the world provides built-in train detection.
 
Light Rail
Our step-speed track circuit-based light rail solutions are customized to fit operating requirements. Complete central office, vehicle and wayside systems can be standalone or integrate with existing systems. Decades of experience in diverse wayside environments assures project success.
For over a century, the Italian companies of Ansaldo STS have delivered industry-first solutions for rail transportation. Today, their sophisticated transit control systems build upon traditional signaling technology for a new generation of advanced systems in-step with evolving mass transit needs.
