Alteria Automation, BYTEK smart solutions, Alter Technology and secpho are collaborating in the TRAIN SCS project to develop an innovative air conditioning system that will improve air quality in trains, a major source of respiratory disease transmission.

This project develops a new product that allows the sterilization of viruses and bacteria, as well as the monitoring of air quality for passenger vehicles and railroads (Metro, light rail, urban streetcars, commuter trains, AVE, ALVIA).

The initiative has received funding from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism corresponding to Next Generation EU funds, canalised through the support programme for Innovative Business Groups, whose objective is to digitalise industry.

Problem

The railway air conditioning systems currently used were not designed to deal with the current problems of respiratory disease transmission: the air is conditioned by passing it over and over again through the air conditioning unit, without exchanging air with the outside air.

Solution

TRAIN SCS (Safe Climatization System) develops a new product, non-existent in the market, which allows the sterilization of viruses and bacteria as well as air quality monitoring
