Transportation

ETAP provides unique and efficient solutions for all segments of transportation. Transportation engineers use ETAP to design and maintain the electrical system for a number of critical mass transit networks such as railways, canals, etc. as well as terminals such as airports and seaports.

In fact, only two automobile manufacturers made it to the Top 5 of the Fortune 500 list and both utilize ETAP for the safe and reliable operation of their production line.

An urban transportation company recently added ETAP ARTTS in order to bridge the gap between relay-testing hardware and power system simulation technology. With knowledge of the actual response of their protective relaying, they are now making informed decisions and providing commuters a more dependable and faster service.

When rail transit was introduced over a century ago, it looked like the transport of the future. It still does. Sprawling cities, crawling highways, and chronic pollution all stress the importance of sustainable rail systems in the years to come. Rail design is very complex and the electrical system uses very high power electrical and electronic devices to serve endless miles of railroad.

OTI understands the importance of transit system analysis and works with key transportation companies to enhance ETAP with DC modules like Rapid Transit System and DC Load Flow designed specifically for transit system modeling and analysis. ETAP also has a unique Underground Raceway System design tool allowing engineers to design and analyze the thermal integrity of raceways especially for urban subway systems.
