With the support of CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development), Inse Rail has completed the GALIBRAIL innovation project, an innovative software developed completely in-house. It aims to address the existing technological challenges posed by railway clearances, as well as the new challenges that will generated by the new scenario of deregulation, promotion and development of European passenger and freight railway traffic, with special emphasis on the Rail Freight Freeways that will be created in the future.
This cutting-edge tool represents a qualitative and quantitative leap in the calculation of all types of railway clearances; qualitative, because it implements the algorithms to quickly and accurately calculate the clearances required under current Spanish regulations (Order FOM/1630/2015, of 14 July, approving the “Railway Clearance Instruction” updated and published on 18/2/2023); and quantitative because it reduces the number of hours dedicated to calculations, and above all to the graphical representation of clearances, because it automatically generates 2D CAD output and a 3D model of the clearance that can be implemented in any BIM management project.
One of the most important objectives achieved with this project, after two years of development and start-up, is the creation of an innovative, disruptive technical solution in the sector that strengthens Inse Rail‘s position as a leading engineering firm in railway mobility, as well as its commercial relations with all the agents involved, especially with ADIF and RENFE, both in Spain and abroad, through strategic alliances of common interest. The project also demonstrates Inse Rail’s commitment to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) since this project increases the use of less polluting rail for the transport of goods and passengers, in accordance with the recommendations of the 2030 Agenda. In addition, it puts Inse Rail ahead of the competition by addressing problems that Spain’s government will soon need to resolve, such as the Rail Freight Freeways, providing a solution for them by 2024.
