Siemens Mobility successfully completes full automation of Paris Metro Line 4 - all trains now run automatically
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
- Cutting traction power consumption by 17%
