With the support of CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development), Inse Rail has completed the GALIBRAIL innovation project, an innovative software developed completely in-house. It aims to address the existing technological challenges posed by railway clearances, as well as the new challenges that will generated by the new scenario of deregulation, promotion and development of European passenger and freight railway traffic, with special emphasis on the Rail Freight Freeways that will be created in the future.

This cutting-edge tool represents a qualitative and quantitative leap in the calculation of all types of railway clearances; qualitative, because it implements the algorithms to quickly and accurately calculate the clearances required under current Spanish regulations (Order FOM/1630/2015, of 14 July, approving the “Railway Clearance Instruction” updated and published on 18/2/2023); and quantitative because it reduces the number of hours dedicated to calculations, and above all to the graphical representation of clearances, because it automatically generates 2D CAD output and a 3D model of the clearance that can be implemented in any BIM management project.

One of the most important objectives achieved with this project, after two years of development and start-up, is the creation of an innovative, disruptive technical solution in the sector that strengthens Inse Rail‘s position as a leading engineering firm in railway mobility, as well as its commercial relations with all the agents involved, especially with ADIF and RENFE, both in Spain and abroad, through strategic alliances of common interest. The project also demonstrates Inse Rail’s commitment to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) since this project increases the use of less polluting rail for the transport of goods and passengers, in accordance with the recommendations of the 2030 Agenda. In addition, it puts Inse Rail ahead of the competition by addressing problems that Spain’s government will soon need to resolve, such as the Rail Freight Freeways, providing a solution for them by 2024.

Inse Rail, together with the UPV (Polytechnic University of Valencia), and the support of the CDTI, has completed the Hyperstrooct Project, a state-of-the-art project in the field of structural calculation for the infrastructure of Hyperloop lines, which consisted of the development of an advanced simulation tool to analyze, calculate and validate the structural response and vehicle-structure interaction.

After almost two years of development, we have achieved the goal set by the R&D department of designing and developing a computerized system to simulate the structural response and vehicle-structure interaction for Hyperloop viaducts, enabling us to automate the design calculations for the evaluation and subsequent construction of this infrastructure.

Some of the many innovative objectives of this project included solving the problem of structural analysis of vehicle movement in the Hyperloop system along the viaduct or similar infrastructure, as well as determining the expected response of the structure and the vehicle in terms of movement, deformation, stress and strain. It is also key to obtain results that are applicable in the field of engineering, such as ensuring the ability to carry out studies of alternatives that are comparable to each other to assess the required construction time and required investment, or to plan lines and their segmentation based the route and environmental specifications.

This software positions Inse Rail as a cutting-edge engineering firm in the field of transport, sharing knowledge with professionals from the UPV (Polytechnic University of Valencia), who are undoubtedly the top specialists in this field internationally.
