Answers for cities.
Paris Metro’s most storied line is to be converted for
fully automated service by Siemens France.
Siemens automation solution will enable the metro
trains to run at higher speeds and at shorter headways
and also allow the operator to match the number of
vehicles in operation much more quickly to fluctuations
in the number of passengers. Vehicle deployment
will be controlled from an operations control center,
which is also to be supplied by Siemens. Besides the
operations control equipment, the company’s scope of
supply includes the components necessary along the
line and for the 49 vehicles operating on Line 1.
Metro Line 1 linking Chateau de Vincennes and La
Defense was first opened in July 1900, making it the
oldest, most heavily traveled metro line in Paris. The
route is 16.6 kilometers long and serves 25 stations.
This will be the first time that such an important line
is to be automated during ongoing metro operation –
that is, without interrupting regular passenger service.
From 2011, for the passengers travelling the line on a
daily basis, line 1 will be synonymous with:
◊ Availability thanks to the platform screen doors
which keep to a minimum the in-station perturbations
caused by objects on the track.
◊ High transport offer. At a rate of one train every 85
seconds, line 1 can carry nearly 40,000 passengers per
hour in each direction.
◊ Safety thanks to the platform screen doors which
prevent people from falling on to the track.
◊ Security thanks to onboard and in-station
audio-visual means.
◊ Speed thanks to an average commercial speed
(including the stopping times in the stations) of
40 km/h (as compared to 25 km/h on conventional
attended metro lines).
