Moreover, METROTENERIFE has an extensive experience in O&M, which give them the ability to integrate operations and maintenance constraints from the design stage: the key to guaranteeing that a line is functional and maintained in line with budget forecasts throughout its useful life. 1. Planning. We assist government administrations and private companies to make decisions on infrastructure and transportation services: master plans, transport system plans, analysis and management of mobility, technical and economic feasibility studies, assistance with Public-Private Partnerships (privatization, outsourcing, BOT, management contracts), design of operational-maintenance-financial models, concept studies and demand studies. 2. Design. Detailed design and engineering, technical assistance in project management, planning, drafting of the technical and administrative specifications, management of tenders, drafting and revision of technical and functional specifications, development of interfaces, definition of a charging structure, accessibility plan and Rolling-Stock assessment. 3. Construction. Management and technical assistance on site, planning, follow up, building and quality certificates, execution and interfaces controls. METROTENERIFE has provided consultancy services in planning, design and construction to clients from Europe, Latin America, Africa and Middle East, involving urban and interurban rail transport. 4 Operation & Maintenance METROTENERIFE has and extensive experience in O&M, endorsed by the positive results obtained in the different projects it has managed. The firm has been involved in the pre-operation and operation of the following Light Rail Train systems: Madrid (Spain), Zaragoza (Spain), Malaga (Spain), Cadiz (Spain), Rabat (Morocco), Jerusalem (Israel) and Cuenca (Ecuador). Based on this knowledge, the company offers technical assistance services aimed at operators and Transport Authorities: 1. Tests and trials. Drawing up, implementation and follow up of tests (of the systems, interfaces and integration), stress tests, tests on degraded modes of the system, etc. 2. Pre-operational stage. Assessment in Human Resources and Labor Relations, drafting of operational documentation, maintenance plans and tender documents, depot lay-out, theoretical and practical training of staff, deployment of temporary drivers and drivers training. 3. Service simulation. Development, programming and management of the “empty running” tests, service demonstration and validation of procedures. 4. Running and maintenance. Development of the operating program, definition and optimization of the service, management of obsolescence, revision and optimization of the maintenance plan, RAMS studies, financial and operational management, operational benchmarkings, operation of LRT/tramways and conventional trains lines, maintenance of rolling-stock and fixed installations, assistance and training in maintenance management, etc. 5 I+D+i Transporting millions of passengers every year has allowed METROTENERIFE to know firsthand the needs of the sector in terms of safety, technology and energy. The engineering team develops innovative solutions that meet the needs of operators worldwide, as well as the creation of safer and more efficient transport systems. Some of the innovations are the following: 1. Speed Monitoring and Control Safety System (SIMOVE). Development, testing and deployment of a system that continuously monitor and control the speed of its vehicles, comparing the position and speed of any railway vehicle with the appropriate speed for any given section of the lane. In case the driver over speed the system warns the driver and if not reduced the system stops the vehicles avoiding the risk of the vehicle overturning on curves due to excessive speed. SIMOVE has a very strong back-office that becomes a powerful tool for the railway operator to monitor aspects such as traffic signal priority, time spent at stops and termini, commercial speed per line section, quality of driving in terms of braking and acceleration consistency, accelerations module to analyse passengers comfort and falling due to jerk, etc. SIMOVE is a key tool in order to detect speeding not detected before and to produce statistics to evaluate driving behaviour. SIMOVE has been installed in two LRT systems in Spain and recognized as a significant safety system by operators across Europe and Latin America. Moreover, SIMOVE has been highly commended as Project of the Year at Smart Rail Awards 2018, highly commended as Significant Safety Initiative at the Global Light Rail Awards 2017 and Shortlisted at the XV Technological Innovation Award of Talgo Foundation 2015. 6 2. “VIA-MOVIL” is an integral ticketing system that unifies, by means of the user’s mobile telephone and without the need for a paper ticket, the purchase, validation and ticket control process, and which allows for a direct communication between the transport operator and passengers. VIA-MOVIL enables management of complex ticketing systems in multi-operator environment. 3.
