Successful demonstration of a fully automated tram
depot with a self-driving tram
-
Market maturity planned for 2026
-
Supported by the mFUND of the Federal Ministry of
Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI)
Siemens
Mobility and ViP Verkehrsbetrieb Potsdam GmbH successfully demonstrated a test
of the mFUND’s AStriD (“Autonomous Tram in Depot”) research project at a press
conference today. A consortium consisting of Siemens Mobility, ViP Verkehrsbetrieb
Potsdam GmbH, the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), the Institute for Climate
Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM), and Codewerk GmbH began its joint
research on a fully automated tram depot in October 2019. The technology is
expected to be market-ready in 2026.
Siemens and SITA are providing the Kansas City Aviation Department with future-proof, scalable technologies for the Kansas City International (MCI) Airport’s New Terminal project, dubbed Build KCI.
- Requirements-based function expansions for protection devices
designed for use in utilities, industrial plants or infrastructures
- License file easily created in seconds
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched a
new application for the Siprotec 5 and Siprotec 5 Compact series of protection
devices: In just a few seconds, customers can now generate new license files
for their protection device using a cloud-based app. This allows new device
functions to be enabled very quickly. These functions are added depending on
the type of application of the device, for instance to protect lines and motors
in the distribution network of utilities or industrial plants. Until
now, the ordering process for a license file took almost week.
- CBTC to be
installed on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid
Transit System
- First case
where CBTC technology is used on a cross border link
- Rail line will
ease current congestion, improve cross-border connectivity, and bolster
economic activity in the region.
Siemens
Mobility has been awarded a contract by RTS Operations to design, install and
commission a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system and
Platform Screen Door System on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit (RTS)
Link. This will be the first ever case of CBTC technology being used on a cross
border rail link. The 4 km system connecting Johor Bahru, Malaysia and
Woodlands, Singapore will be operated by RTS Operations, a joint venture between
Singapore rail operator SMRT and Malaysian public transport firm Prasarana.
Once completed, the RTS Link will be able to transport an estimated 10,000 passengers an
hour in each direction, helping ease current congestion at existing border
entry points, improving cross-border connectivity and bolstering economic
activity in the region. The line will also be equipped with GoA 4, the highest grade
of automation that allows for trains to be automatically controlled and
operated.
