The business consortium made up of Inse Rail and Ines Ingenieros Consultores, will draft the projects for the adaptation of overpasses and tunnel entrances throughout the north railway network managed by ADIF, including conventional, standard and metric gauge lines, where the installation of protective enclosures is considered necessary for the later installation of the Falling Object Detection (DCO) system, as well as the inspection and inventory of these elements of the infrastructure.
The Falling Object Detection system, whose purpose is to prevent traffic incidents due to the possible invasion of the track gauge by foreign objects, is considered necessary to improve the operation of the lines, since it makes it possible to reliably confirm at all times that the track is free of obstacles at the points where the system is installed.
The most critical points in terms of the possibility of objects falling onto the track are tunnel openings, due to the need to control possible falling loose material, and overpasses, due to the possibility of objects falling from vehicle traffic travelling over them.
