Amtore has extensive experience in assembling and installing the most modern microprocessor signaling systems for metro/rail solutions, including mobile block systems (CBTC),Automatic Pilot (AP), primary detection systems by track circuits and axis counters, WiMax transmitters for ground-train communication, blocking lines with fiber optic technology. Our experience in this area includes the implementation of CBTC signaling for lines 1 and 2 of the Salvador Subway, Morumbi and Vila Sonia stations of the Yellow Line 4 of the São Paulo Subway and Tramo III (Águas Claras extension) of Line 1 of the Salvador Subway.
CBTC Signaling System
São Paulo Subway
On line 4 of the São Paulo metro, Amtore Tecnologia installed the CBTC signaling system, supplied by Siemens, to Morumbi and Vila Sonia stations; including the expansion of the maintenance yard with 10 new train parking lines, which required the installation of:

Automatic Piloting System
Subway Rio de Janeiro
In 2014, 15 new trains manufactured by C.R.R.C. were acquired by the Rio de Janeiro Subway. On this occasion, Siemens, manufacturer of the autopilot system that equips all the other trains in the fleet, contracted Amtore Tecnology, which carried out the assembly of the equipment embarked in these units and made possible the operation of the new Line 4, connecting the South Zone with Barra da Tijuca. This installation, carried out shortly before the start of the operational tests of the new trains, involved the assembly and installation of processors, acceleration meters, antennas, precision odometers, indication panels, cables and other accessories in each cockpit and next to the wheelsets of each train.

Implementation of Command and Control Systems
Belo Horizonte
In 1995, shortly after its foundation, Amtore signed a contract with INEPAR S.A. INDÚSTRIA E CONSTUÇÕES aiming to complete the installation of the Railway Signaling System between Sete Lagoas and Betim in the then Regional Superintendence SR2 of RFFSA – Belo Horizonte, executing in a stretch of approximately 100km the following electrical and mechanical assembly service of the equipment installed along the railway; installation of control cables between the equipment on the track and the signaling command and control rooms located at each station; static tests and alignment of installed equipment; dynamic tests and certification of interlocks at each station.
The Signaling System implemented in the Sete Lagoas – Betim stretch was developed using GEC standard vital relay logic and implemented in several yards with primary detection through GEC’s own Reed Track Circuit, combined with simple track blocking through ABB manufactured Axis Counters. Communication between adjacent interlocks was implemented through multimode optical fibers.
