Re-Signaling Paris Line 1: from Driver-Operated Line to Driverless Line

Corinne Braban

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This paper describes how, in late 2005, the Paris Transport Authority (RATP) awarded Siemens the contract for upgrading the oldest line of the Paris metro to a driverless line. This paper explains the motives of RATP and focuses on the technical challenges for upgrading automatic train control (ATC) from driver attended to driverless operation. This paper also presents the communications-based train control (CBTC) solution selected by Siemens and explains the reasons why it matches the requirements.
