ATC FOR CHILE
Posted on 01 February 2010 by Railways Africa Editor
The Chilean operator Metro de Santiago has awarded Alstom Transport a contract to supply an automatic train control system for Santiago metro’s line 1 (27 stations, 20km). The project involves renovation of the existing train control system, including design, manufacturing, installation of the Urbalis solution and its maintenance over three years.
The equipment will permit Metro de Santiago to reduce intervals between trains on line 1, thereby carrying additional passengers per hour. This will make a 20% increase possible in the approximately 1 million passengers per day. Implementation, due to begin in September 2010, is to be effected without service interruption.
