Following the fatal accident at Tempi and the rail vehicle safety debate, STASY emphasizes in a statement that the tram, which coexists on the city’s road network, is no match for other measures.

As noted in Fixed Communications, the network Tram installed and operating telematics systemconnected to a traffic system that prioritizes trams and informs the Control Center of the exact location of vehicles.

“The connection of conductors with the Control Center is constant and uninterrupted throughout the route, through a modern communication system (tetra). The Tram Control Center has installed and operates a monitoring system for all vehicles.that move across the network in real time, with the position and location of each vehicle updated every 20 seconds,” STASY, among other things, clarifies.

A tram is a means of rail transport that coexists in the road network of cities with moving vehicles and pedestrians. As a road vehicle, it develops low speeds and moves in compliance with the COC and road signaling. Its movement and control is carried out exclusively by the driver of the electric vehicle through the visual contact that he has with the road. For this reason, cannot be compared with other fixed orbit vehicles.

On the tram network telematics system installed and working, connected to a traffic system that prioritizes trams and informs the Control Center of the exact location of vehicles. The system also informs the passenger during his stay at the stop about the arrival of the train and the waiting time. In the event of a technical failure of the system, the Operating Protocol provides for certain procedures to be followed by well-trained and experienced STA.SY conductors.

The connection of conductors with the Control Center is continuous and uninterrupted throughout the entire route, through a modern communication system (tetra). The Tram Control Center has installed and operates a monitoring system for all vehicles., which move across the network in real time, updating the track and position of each vehicle every 20 seconds. If technical problems arise, they are immediately eliminated, also observing the applicable procedures and safety regulations in this case.

WITH delivery and circulation of 25 new modern tram cars as of December 2021, malfunctions in the telematics system are minimized. We emphasize that this particular system works as an auxiliary one and does not concern the safe movement of passengers.
