Indra continues to satisfy the mobility needs of today's society with its Mova Solutions offering, which combines the new digital, integration, specialisation and innovation capabilities demanded by the market with the loyalty, business knowledge, Indra's proprietary technology and the exceptional experience of all its professionals. This combination of distinctive factors has resulted in a portfolio of end-to-end solutions focused on leading smart mobility to respond successfully to current and future challenges, with a clear focus on the traveller experience and on improving sustainability. The different solution ranges of Indra Mova Solutions make the company a clear leader as an orchestrator of critical mobility systems and infrastructures and cover the entire life cycle of its clients' projects: engineering and consulting (Mova Consulting), collection systems (Mova Collect), operational and control systems (Mova Traffic), security and safety solutions (Mova Protect), communications (Mova Comms), traveller experience (Mova Experience) and operation and maintenance services (Mova Care).

As regards railways, Indra's comprehensive offer connects the different areas of the sector and interconnects with other railway transport systems, with specific solutions and services for public authorities, infrastructure administrators, railway operators, logistics operators, as well as for manufacturers and maintenance companies, construction companies and large integrators. As a demonstration of its capacity and experience in the sector, Indra has more than 30,000 km of railway tracks and more than 4,000 km of high-speed lines covered by its Mova Traffic systems, 1,800 km of these railway lines covered by Mova Consulting services, more than 35 million daily transactions processed with its Mova Collect solutions and more than 700 SIL-4 on-board equipment and more than 13,000 safety signals deployed from the Mova Protect line of solutions.

It is also IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) certified according to ISO 22163, which accredits the maximum quality and safety of its railway products based on the most demanding standards in the sector.

Top products: INFRAESTRUCTURE: 1. Open Digital Signalling. OTHERS: 2. Smart Ticketing Solutions. 3. Integrated sales platform for operators.

Indra's activity in the railway sector focuses on four main pillars:

(1) Optimisation and operational safety, covering all areas of operation, from planning to maintenance, complying with the highest safety standards, and promoting interoperability to reduce operating costs, maximise capacities and optimise processes.

(2) Comprehensive passenger management, promoting an intermodal public transport with solutions adapted to passengers' needs that accompany them at all stages of the journey, thereby favouring a global user experience.

(3) Interoperability of goods, through specific solutions for the planning and management of freight transport services, allowing full physical and document trackability of cargo and facilitating the service offered by logistics operators.

(4) Sustainability and innovation, to generate spaces for co-creation that promote the development of innovation projects and new business models. Indra also offers strategic solutions for the long-term efficiency and sustainability of the railway business.

Indra's technology has already modernised railway infrastructure in countries such as Spain, United Kingdom, Turkey, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Australia, USA, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Ireland. On the latter, it will manage one of the most significant ticketing projects in the world, which encompasses the country's entire public transport fare collection system. It is also worth highlighting Indra's role as a benchmark technology provider within the Spanish consortium in the Mecca-Medina HSR project in Saudi Arabia. 

More than 100 cities around the world have already chosen Indra's solutions to improve their urban mobility and transport, including cities such as London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Madrid, Lisbon, Dublin, Riyadh and Manila.

Innovation at Indra is the fundamental pillar of its strategy. It is one of the leading innovation companies in Europe in terms of both investment in R&D&I and its open innovation model, which has Spanish and European certifications accrediting its competence and value contribution. In the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard ranking, Indra is one of the Spanish companies in the software and computer services sector in Europe that invests the most in R&D&I. Also, within the Horizon 2020 Innovation Framework Programme (H2020), Indra is the Spanish company with the highest economic return obtained and the second on a European level. 

The company is a member of the highest governing body of Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking (EU-Rail), Europe's largest rail innovation programme, which drives the digitisation and sustainability of the sector. With a budget of €1.2 billion, Europe's Rail is part of the new European Innovation Framework Programme, Horizon Europe, and continues the work carried out in the previous railway innovation programme, Shift2Rail, in which Indra was already part of the highest governing body and within which it has played a very important role, participating in more than 20 projects. With the new programme, the company will participate in the development of new large-scale solutions with the participation of a large number of stakeholders to be implemented in different European countries. CyberRail IoT, satellite ERTMS, big data, artificial intelligence, digital twins, smart maintenance and intelligent platforms are the main technologies and solutions that Indra will address in these developments.

Within the framework of the previous initiative, Shift2Rail, Indra participated in several of the programmes that are part of it. Under the IP4 programme, focused on improving the passenger experience, Indra headed the ticketing and interoperability areas, and participated in the replication of a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) ecosystem at a European level in relevant projects such as CONNECTIVE, MaaSive and ExtenSive, whose developments have been tested with pilots in real environments in several European cities. These developments in IP4 continue to progress within EU-Rail, with the aim of proving the viability of a Europe-wide MaaS ecosystem that redefines the way in which different modes of transport and mobility services are accessed and managed

Regarding signalling, communications and automation of railway systems, Indra has worked within the X2RAIL projects of the IP2 programme, and in the digitisation and optimisation of freight transport through projects such as FR8RAIL-III within IP5. This work focused on the development of new technologies and solutions that promote the modernisation and progress of the railway in order to optimise the capacity of the lines, their operation and maintenance, applying IoT, blockchain, AI and 5G technologies. Its developments in the areas of wireless communications for on-board and on-track systems, standardised and interoperable communications, and train integrity monitoring have also been validated in test environments in various parts of Europe.  

Regarding railway IoT, Indra has a very prominent role in the InSecTT project, within the ECSEL Joint Undertaking, where it has deployed solutions such as virtual coupling using 5G technology and edge computing. We are alsoactively involved in logistics digitalisation initiatives such as FENIX and SIMPLE. In the first one, we lead a pilot project in Bilbao, improving communication between the dry and sea ports by means of a multi-modal platform in the dry port of Jundiz. On theother hand, through SIMPLE, integrated in the European FEDeRATED project (led by Puertos del Estado in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda and ADIF) we have implemented a technological platform based on IoT and blockchain to manage documents, data and information flows in an integrated and digital way in multi-modal freight transport, covering rail, maritime and land modes.
