Beamagine is participating in the TRENERGY project – Automation in railway depots for sustainable and decarbonised mobility, an industrial research initiative focused on the development of key technologies for the autonomous operation of railway vehicles in controlled depot environments.

The objective of TRENERGY is to investigate and validate solutions that enable the automation of railway manoeuvres, improve operational and energy efficiency, and contribute to the decarbonisation of collective transport. The project takes an integrated approach, addressing advanced perception, precise positioning, autonomous decision-making, train-to-ground communications and intelligent energy management, with a strong focus on safety and future certification.

Within the project, Beamagine leads the research on the perception system, a core technological pillar of TRENERGY. Beamagine will develop multimodal perception systems primarily based on LiDAR sensors, combined with cameras and radar, as well as detection algorithms with and without artificial intelligence. These technologies aim to provide railway vehicles with a robust and reliable understanding of their environment, capable of operating under adverse conditions and meeting the strict safety requirements of the railway sector.

The technologies developed in TRENERGY will be validated through virtual environments and physical tests in non-operational scenarios, allowing their technological maturity to be increased without impacting real railway operations.

TRENERGY is led by CAF Signalling (CAFSIG) and involves CAF SA, Beamagine and ETECNIC, together with several research organisations, including CTAG, ITA, ITCL and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Renfe Operadora and ADIF participate as project advisors.

The project runs from 2026 to 2028 and is funded by CDTI, with the support of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, under the Science and Innovation Missions Programme 2025 (Project reference: MIG-20251218).
