- World premiere: Existing GoA4 line upgraded to
latest generation CBTC driverless automation system to boost capacity, reliability,
and efficiency for Paris metro operator RATP on behalf of Île-de-France
Mobilités
- Upgraded
line enables driverless automated train operation along the route doubled
in length, now also connecting Orly Airport to central Paris
- Line
remained in operations throughout the project that will serve one million
passengers daily by 2025
Siemens Mobility and RATP (Régie
autonome des transports Parisiens) have successfully modernized and extended the
automated Line 14 of the Paris metro. This world premiere marks the first
migration of an automated driverless (GoA4 – Grade of Automation) metro line to
the latest generation GoA4 driverless automated system “Trainguard MT CBTC”. The
new system, which was implemented during the past six years during passenger
services, enables more efficient and reliable services on the line that has
doubled in length by 14 kilometers due to extensions to the North and South.
With a remarkable headway of 85 seconds along its entire 28 km route, Line 14
is now the longest line in the Paris network and will eventually accommodate
over one million passengers daily. The expansion enables passengers to travel
from Orly Airport to Paris city center in 20 minutes and from the northern business
districts in Saint-Denis Pleyel to Orly Airport in just 40 minutes. With its
improved capacity, reliability, and efficiency, Line 14 serves as the backbone
of Paris' public transportation system, connecting to the future Grand Paris
Express network. Over six years, more than 250 Siemens Mobility engineers
contributed to this project, with over 500,000 hours of engineering.

platform, where the Sigreen carbon emission management tool from Siemens will
be combined with NTT Com and NTT DATA’s integration services. The portfolio
will be deployed in a number of pilot projects along with OMRON Corporation, a manufacturer of electronic systems, and DENSO
International Europe B.V., an automotive supplier. This follows a successful exploration phase at R&D organization
Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne.
- Traditional agriculture is coming under increasing pressure from climate change: Today indoor farming offers a resource-conserving alternative
- Siemens supplies automation and digitalization technologies to make indoor farming safer and more productive
- By working with Siemens, indoor farming company 80 Acres Farms can run farms on 100 percent renewable energy, yield 300 times more than conventional farmland, and use 95 percent less water
Growing lettuce in the
desert using environmentally friendly methods? Yes, it’s possible. Looking
ahead, it’s important to start developing new concepts for agriculture. By
2050, 10 billion people are expected to live on our planet, and they’ll all
want to be fed. But new agricultural land is becoming scarce, and more and more
farmers are struggling with water shortages. Indoor farming is therefore an
intelligent solution for reliably and energy-efficiently creating perfect
growing conditions for plants. This will help meet the growing challenges of
food supply and food security.
