Siemens
Mobility successfully completes full automation of Paris Metro Line 4 - all
trains now run automatically
Today, Siemens
Mobility – in partnership with RATP and d’Île-de-France Mobilités – announced
completion of the full automation of Paris Metro Line 4, which is now operated
exclusively using automatic driverless trains. Following a period of mixed
operation during which driver-operated trains ran alongside the automatic
trains, full automation of Line 4 is now a reality. As a leader in the
design and implementation of automated metro systems, Siemens Mobility was
chosen by RATP at the end of 2015 to automate Line 4, three years after the
successful project to automate Line 1 at the end of 2012. With 700,000
passenger each day, Line 4 is the French capital’s second busiest metro line.
Opened in 1908, the route now has 29 stations spread over 14 kilometers.

Siemens Mobility
supplied the automation and radio systems to equip the tracks, the technical
facilities and the automatic trains that run on Line 4. The implementation
includes the Operation Command Center (OCC), which manages the signaling system
and the traction power supply, as well as interfacing with the on-board and
trackside systems (automated and radio).
The
communication-based train control system [CBTC] developed by Siemens Mobility
for RATP has led to a significant improvement in the performance of Line 4 that
benefits passengers by:
Increasing capacity
Varying
the number of trains depending on passenger levels
Reducing
the intervals between trains from 105 to 85 seconds
