Railway security

Open and stand-alone solutions for the comprehensive management and safe and secure control of railway environments


Innovative technology applied to safety, intelligence and control, both in infrastructure and onboard protection systems. Indra's valuable intellectual capital in the field of safety and security is the basis for its complete, open, integrable and highly scalable solutions for controlling and protecting railway environments

We have focused our capabilities and technological offer for railway safety and security on three sensible goals.

  • Singular buildings: workshops, sheds, depots and technical buildings. 
  • Track sections: tunnels, overpasses, viaducts, cuttings, level crossings and rail yards.
  • Stations and rolling stock: stations and stops, and train passengers.

Security for buildings

  • Access points to facilities.
  • Tactical objective: access points to facilities.

Protection of machinery, systems, in stock material and rolling stock

  • Perimeter protection: fencing with sound system to accurately detect intrusions.
  • Perimeter CCTV and mobile indoor camera support. Smart video option.
  • Early detection systems: surface radars and unattended underground sensors.
  • Access control using cards and other biometric mechanisms.
  • Fire detection and extinction systems.

Safety and security in tunnels

Detecting access to tunnels is fundamental for taking preventive measures to avoid accidents (collisions) and traffic risks.

  • Objective: To avoid damages to rolling stock at all costs.
  • Perimeter protection: To avoid intrusions in the infrastructure by vandals, saboteurs and inattentive passers-by. Use of sensor barriers. 
  • Fire detection and extinction systems: Use of fibroLaser sensors, smoke extractors, etc., and ventilation.
  • Detection of movements in the tunnel (safety): Seismic sensors.

Safety and security at level crossings

  • Objective: To avoid collisions due to vehicles on tracks and to provide recordings.
  • Installation of CCTV systems that detect offenders, act as legal evidence in the event of collisions, activate alarm systems.
  • Sensor systems (laser barriers, IR, microwaves) that detect unauthorized entry.
  • Mechanisms to physically block the road when the barriers are lowered.
  • CCTV is the basic system for detecting offenders, imposing fines and providing legal evidence in case of an accident, and it should be used in conjunction with other sensors.

Safety and security in cuttings

  • Objective: To detect ground movements and rocks falling on the tracks.
  • Installation of fences with sensors to detect the movement of the ground and rocks rolling down slopes.
  • Sensors on the track platform to detect the impact of falling rocks or landslides.
  • CCTV System to visualize the actual status of the tracks in order to discard false alarms.
  • Option to use video analysis to detect falling objects.
  • The detection conditions for these types of events in aggressive outdoor environments are a challenge for the durability of the devices, and for calibrating them. Objective: low level of false alarms.

Safety and security at the mouths of tunnels, viaducts and overpasses

  • Objective: To avoid derailments resulting from objects accidentally or intentionally falling on the tracks.
  • Installation of sensor barriers to cover the track platform.
  • Installation of fences with sensors to detect falling objects or attempted accesses.
  • Installation of support CCTV to verify the alarms raised by other sensors and the status of black spots.

Safety and security at stations and stops

  • Objective: To avoid urban vandalism and passenger assaults.
  • Enclosures and perimeter fences to prevent access by individuals without a ticket during the day and all nighttime access.
  • Perimeter sensors at black spots.
  • Perimeter CCTV and mobile indoor cameras with video recorders.
  • Option to analyze the video.
  • Control of access to technical offices.
  • Sensors for ticket issuing machines in order to detect vandalism and theft.
  • Fire detection and extinction systems.
  • In certain areas at risk from terrorism: use of radio frequency inhibitors and video analysis of abandoned objects and suspicious behavior.

Safety of train passengers

  • Objective: To increase passenger safety by monitoring the inside of trains from the control center.
  • Installation of CCTV on board passenger cars to display all areas of the train.
  • Mass onboard video recordings and transmission from specific cameras to the control center in real time through wireless technology.
  • Option to include audio inside the train.
  • Control monitor in the engineer's control unit.
