UIC Global Research & Innovation Awards 2012

We are happy to announce that Transrail has received the prestigious UIC Global Research & Innovation Awards, category “Sustainable development”. This was one of six award categories. Transrail won the award out of 46 submissions from companies and universities globally. The jury consisted of IRRB members.

The awards were announced at the UIC 90 th anniversary ceremony on the 11 December 2012. This ceremony included a high-level roundtable where, in fact, sustainable development was one of the key issues of concern.

The award was given for the development of our CATO-system featuring traffic management with on time train operation and eco-driving. This technology brings many new opportunities to the railways. It opens a new era to rail transportation.

CATO is now in use with LKAB iron ore heavy haul operation as well as with Arlanda Express high-speed airport train service in Stockholm. CATO is of great global interest for freight, passenger and metro systems.
