The LISBON OPERATIONAL COMMAND CENTRE – OCC Lx, is located at the Braço de Prata Station in Lisbon. This building was conceived to hold all the railway traffic control systems of the central area of Portugal, and has technical and functional characteristics of great complexity, namely concerning the spatial construction of the Command Room where the geometrics of the ergonomic relation between the operators and the monitoring displays as well the articulation of all the infrastructures are combined as a whole.
The building is structured around a central space for the Control Room and the Situation Room, and the Ground Floor is reserved for the entrance, technical and staff facilities. In the squared body, which goes along the Command Room over the three floors, stand all the circulation and service areas as well the administration.
