Electrical design for railway industry
Description
Globalization and the increasing size of cities makes necessary the use of rail transport for the mobility of persons and goods. The rail industry has also faced new challenges in recent years taxing their ability to react rapidly.
New factors such as safety, maintenance and cost reduction are key in the rail sector. The complexity of facilities with large numbers of cables and electronic components require new solutions. These solutions must ensure proper management and development of projects with large amounts of information. Integration with other platforms and interdepartmental collaboration are also required for cost effectiveness.
