Intamin Monorail for Bologna

A modern state of the art Monorail, based on the Intamin P30 monorail system, will connect Bologna Airport with the central station. The system covers approx. five kilometres with 3 stops.

A high automation degree of the monorail system, combined with a driverless operation of the trains, allows to operate the system with a minimum number of staff from the Operation Control Centre. A sophisticated train guiding system allows a safe operation of the trains with a short distance of only 30 sec. between two trains, even at high speed of up to 80km/h. The trip time for the 5 km between the end-station is only 7 minutes.

The system installation will be completed in 2012 and the monorail project is currently one of the city’s most important infrastructural investments which show the city’s commitment towards the growth of the region’s economic system.

Important decision criteria for the Intamin P30 Monorail were the environmental friendly system with virtually no emissions, low construction costs, route planning flexibility and low operation costs due to the high automation degree.

With over four decades of experience Intamin provides Monorail Systems for public transportation which are in compliance or even exceed the high standards and safety regulations demanded by urban transportation.
