Driverless metro line: development of the CBTC system
To transport more travellers during peak times, the operator of alarge international metropole委托我们的工业客户的automation of the busiest metro linein the network. ALTEN is helping to develop the key element, theCBTC signalling system.
By reducing the time gap between trains,using a high-speed radio solutionfor the continuous and two-way exchange of information between ground and on-board automation systems, this CBTC system enables20%more travellers to be transported, whilstimproving the level of safetyandreliability of the operation. This project to migrate subway lines to fully automated lines started in 2017, with a完整e delivery scheduled for 2022.
To help the customer meet the milestones, ALTEN has deployed a team of engineers who are responsible for:
- Enhancing the functional specification of the CBTC system
- Developing the ground and on-board critical safety software
- Validating the software’s compliance with the functional specification
Operated inworkpackagemode, this project demonstrates ALTEN group’sreactivity,maturityand know-how in the rail signalling systems sector.
