Alstom, a leading global provider of sustainable mobility solutions, has recently secured a significant framework contract worth almost 300 million euros. The contract entails the development and deployment of the NExTEO signalling system on the RER B and RER D lines in the Île-de-France region. The project is aimed at modernizing and optimizing the train automation, control, and supervision system in the region.
Framework Contract Details
The 12-year framework contract is one of the largest signalling contracts ever won in France, which reaffirms the confidence placed in Alstom by Île-de-France Mobilités, SNCF Réseau, SNCF Voyageurs, and RATP. The Urbalis signalling technology developed by Alstom will help infrastructure managers and transport operators to improve the performance and punctuality of trains on the RER B and RER D lines in the Île-de-France region.
NExTEO Signalling Solution
The NExTEO solution is a CBTC signalling solution that forms part of an overall strategy to meet the ever-increasing ridership by ensuring greater reliability of train passages in the common tunnel between Gare du Nord and Châtelet-les-Halles stations. The solution will also help to ensure a high level of performance in the densely populated central Paris area while making it possible to adapt to and manage the less densely populated areas on the suburban branches of the RER B and RER D lines.
Alstom's Delight and Impact
Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom France, expressed his delight at the new order, which demonstrates the confidence of their long-standing partners in the products developed by Alstom to improve the performance and throughput of RER lines B and D in response to the increase in passenger traffic. With this new contract, Alstom will equip a total of 350 trains and 100 kilometres of these two RER lines, which are among the busiest in the Île-de-France region.
NExTEO Signalling Technology Benefits
The NExTEO signalling technology provides simultaneous control of the operating and interoperability rules that apply on the SNCF National Railway Network and on the extensive RATP urban network, particularly on the RER B line to the south. This project is a significant step towards sustainable mobility and will help to ensure better connectivity for commuters in the Île-de-France region.
Summary
Alstom's expertise in developing sustainable mobility solutions has once again been recognized with this significant framework contract. The NExTEO signalling technology will help to improve train performance and punctuality on the busy RER B and RER D lines in the Île-de-France region, thereby ensuring better connectivity for commuters.
