Under the SCOTT project, Indra will use secure, reliable and interoperable wireless communication technologies to enable different rail infrastructure elements and devices and those on board the trains to communicate with each other, with control centres and/or cloud platforms.

The project, which is jointly funded by Spain’s Ministry of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda and the European Commission, promotes the development and use of low-consumption and energy-efficient devices.

Indra will use its IoT secure processing hardware platform for rail transport, InVITALRAIL, which is designed to integrate all kinds of onboard devices and the existing infrastructure solutions.

The project ultimately aims to develop vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communications, a secure smart platform that integrates data provided by, among others, various monitoring and control elements.

The new solutions will specifically be designed to enhance security in critical areas, as well as monitoring and maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure, using distributed wireless communications and semi-energy-autonomous networks, with devices exclusively powered by energy collectors.

As part of the ENACT project, Indra is also working on the use of its DevOps software to deploy the IoT devices and associated services at reduced cost, time and error.

Indra is leading the definition of requirements and employment cases under the ENACT project to link them to the relevant business model.

The company will further use DevOps for a new service that uses IoT to monitor, control and manage the configuration and integrity of Gulbene train in Latvia.
