Cactus UniView/Bravida

Period

2010 –

Description

It has been decided to modernize the remote operation central in Aalborg since the system today used to monitor and control the railroad line between Aalborg and Frederikshavn is worn down. As part of the modernization Brodersen’s standard RTU is to remotely monitor the rail network and a majority of the signals in the coming years. This is done by means of the IEC60870 protocol. For many years the rail traffic has been controlled from an old-fashioned control desk. The new solution, on the other hand, is PC-based.

Brodersen has been chosen due to our very flexible platform and ability to make specific interface solutions, ensuring that these solutions are able to work together with the existing proprietary systems.
