The Balfour Beatty Vision 2 Reality team was selected earlier this month to deliver the Bay Street Innovation Corridor project on behalf of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) in Jacksonville, Florida. The selection came after the completion of a two-step procurement process to start the first phase of the JTA’s Ultimate Urban Circulator autonomous vehicle service in downtown Jacksonville. The circulator is JTA’s vision for the renovation and expansion of the Skyway automated people mover system in downtown Jacksonville and the surrounding areas. When completed, the system will expand the current skyway from a 2.5 mile system to a 10 mile circulator.

The Progress Rail subsidiary ECM SpA was commissioned with the development, delivery and installation of an automatic train control system (ATP) ETCS Level 1 on 70 locomotives for the Thai State Railways (SRT). As part of the SRT strategy to modernize the rolling stock fleet, ECM and the local company GLI Grandline Innovation have received an order to implement the ATP system.

NSH USA Corp., formerly Simmons Machine Tool Corp., recently purchased the land and buildings at 47 Broadway in Albany, New York for the construction of a new manufacturing technology center. The property, adjacent to NSH USA’s headquarters, will support the expansion of the company’s current manufacturing facilities and house the Niles Technical Application Center. The new system will also contain an N30 MC turning-milling-machining center from Niles-Simmons as well as further demonstration machines from the members of the NSH group.
