An unprecedented event that is forcing us to adapt, change how we work and bring out the best in ourselves. I want to express my solidarity and appreciation to everyone with the firm conviction that together, we will overcome it. Nevertheless, our dedication and commitment to the improvement of mobility and safety of infrastructure, spurs us on to continue carrying out our activity. One example of this is the comprehensive renovation of the Recoletos tunnel, which tra- verses Madrid from north to south and is a key element in improving the comfort and safety of this infrastructure, which carries the most rail traffic of the entire Spanish network. Designed and managed by Ineco on behalf of Adif, our technicians have played a crucial role in tackling one of the most important railway mobility projects in little more than five months, given that several commuter lines run through this C tunnel, serving more than 250 million passengers a year. M Y Knowledge and input for improving urban mobility and promoting its sustainable development were combined at the recent World Urban Forum in Abu Dhabi. With CM the objective of facing the future with more sustainable and inclusive transporta- MY tion, the companies of the Group of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban CY Agenda presented their innovative projects at this international meeting convened by UN-Habitat. CMY K Experience in the modernisation of railway lines, and in particular in the devel- opment and deployment of the ERTMS system, together with more than 14 years of collaboration in European innovation projects, led to Ineco’s participation in ERSAT GGC, an ambitious project financed by the European Satellite Navigation Agency which will make it possible to implement satellite technology in the European rail traffic management system ERTMS by means of virtual balises. ❝Our dedication This same dedication to innovation to improve air and land safety is also behind to improving the the efforts by our experts to develop the ‘Factor Humano’ methodology, which has received several different awards, including the Canso ‘Global Safety Achievement safety of transport Award 2019’. and mobility has led us to participate Ineco’s international activity also prompted its involvement in the supervision of new trains for Quito’s first metro, and in the aeronautical field, to the design of in important studies the Master Plans for 12 airports of the Pacific Airport Group, a client to whom we are and projects with grateful for the comments made by its Network and Regulated Business Director, ❞ Jose Ángel Martínez. major social benefits CARMEN LIBRERO As for Spain, in this issue we cover two road projects recently opened by the President of Ineco Ministry of Transport, which will reduce travel times and increase safety levels: the complex stretch of the A-23 highway as it passes through the Monrepós mountain We care.
