The Fourth Industrial Revolution and what it means for the rail industry.

Project is co-financed by the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

Two and a half years after a consortium was launched to develop the prototype of an autonomous regional train in France, SNCF and its partners Alstom, Bosch, Spirops, Thales and the Railenium Technology Research Institute are putting their test train into operation.

The first pre-production Coradia Polyvalent France-Germany cross-border train left the Alstom Reichshoffen site on 12 May for the DB Systemtechnik test centre in Minden (Germany), where it will undergo its first tests for certification and approval. Mechanical tests will be conducted to check how the train behaves in curves. It will then go to the Velim test centre (Czech Republic), where it will undergo traction, braking, electro-magnetic and acoustic stress tests.

An innovative project with SNCF, dedicated to the regions of Spain.

Alstom has been selected by public transport operator Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) to provide its automatic train operation system I-CBTC to lines 10, 7bis, 3bis and 3 of the Paris metro, in France. As many as 91 carriages of the new MF19 trains, designed and manufactured by Alstom at its Valenciennes and Crespin sites, will be equipped with Alstom’s interchangeable CBTC (I-CBTC) solution, developed for RATP.

Passenger exchange and platform crowding information is valuable in the design and operation of efficient services. Two solutions, part of the Optimet innovations developed by Metrolab, offer operators actionable insight in these crucial areas.
