Industries

RTAP is deployed in a broad range of transportation applications. It currently manages millions of passengers everyday who use subway stations in France, Spain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Chile, to name a few. It is used to manage and control railway and automobile traffic across various European countries, as well as cities in North America.

Finally, it provides transportation facilities management at major European airports, monitoring everything from airplanes fueling and moving walkways to HVAC systems and security cameras. RTAP also makes certain that airports can handle high volumes of passengers associated with frequent plane arrivals and departures.

The Challenge
Many challenges exist for the world's transportation infrastructure. Servicing increased demand caused by population growth, managing rising energy costs and ensuring the safety and security of facilities on limited capital budgets are just a start. Effective management of public transportation systems requires integration among transportation assets, not only for operational efficiency but also for coordination among emergency management and law enforcement agencies. These challenges greatly increase the demands placed on transportation monitoring and control systems.

The Solution
RTAP provides a flexible and adaptive SCADA platform for evolving facility monitoring and control as well as traffic control systems. A broad range of operating system support, endless scalability, an open integration and development platform all combine to make RTAP a long-term life cycle solution. Ensuring the utmost in safe reliable operations, RTAP specializes in mission critical applications with a solid track record of uninterrupted service supported by solid engineering, a reliable object oriented database and several fault tolerant, redundant features. To address emerging challenges of protecting automation systems from cyber attacks Verano has also introduced its complementary Industrial Defender security solution. Industrial defender is the first real-time security solution designed specifically for the unique requirements of industrial automation environments.

RTAP at Work
RTAP is currently being used throughout the world to monitor and manage vital systems for subways, airports, trams, railways and even automobile traffic control. For these applications RTAP monitors and controls such things as:

• Tram movement
• Airplane fueling
• Moving walkways
• Interaction with urban traffic control
• Signaling and routing
• Facility heating, lighting and air conditioning
• Facility energy management
• Platform operation
• Fire systems
• Ticketing systems
• Security cameras
• Elevators, escalators and facility equipment
