Centro de Control de Atocha, un centenar de operarios entre la presión del tráfico y un ‘software’ de vanguardia
Las fuerzas sindicales cargan contra las condiciones de trabajo en el epicentro de la gestión de la red de alta velocidad de Adif, mientras la empresa defiende el refuerzo de la plantilla desde 2018
At Atocha station, a century of operators face heavy traffic pressure and outdated software. Two recurring complaints from labor unions about the Control and Regulation and Command Center (CRC), managed by rail infrastructure operator Adif at Madrid's Atocha station, are the lack of personnel and the pressure on workers during peak traffic hours.
The CRC, home to Da Vinci, one of Europe's most advanced rail network surveillance systems, monitors centralized traffic control, fixed and GSMR communications, signaling, safety systems, traffic planning and regulation, closed-circuit television, and station control. While the company, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Transport, takes pride in its operations, it is here that the chain of illogical orders ended in tragedy on Wednesday, with two trains colliding and at least 69 fatalities in the Toledan town of Urda.
