ACTIA’S PI AND VIDEO PROTECTION SYSTEMS EQUIP THE NEW METROS OF PARIS MP14
The very first 5-car MP14 metro train is now starting to be tested on line 11. For the record, the MP14 metro is the new Parisian rolling stock, the first of which were put into circulation on 12 October 2020 on line 14, with 8 cars. Thus, this metro is the longest in the Parisian network!.
ACTIA, which is actively involved in the MP14 project, proudly welcomes this event. The group will ensure the supply of the comprehensive video protection system and the dynamic passenger information solution, under IP (Internet Protocol) on-board network.
The details of this sizeable order for ACTIA’s rail business are described below.
The PACIS server
The control server is the main command post of the train information system. It connects and controls all the equipment dedicated to passenger information and audio broadcasting. It receives and processes the information transmitted from the train driver’s cab or from the control centre of a station. This system therefore includes: intercoms, loudspeakers, amplifiers, speaking stations, etc.
Passenger information screens
The MP14 metro will be equipped with ACTIA passenger information screens.
These 29-inch “super-stretch*” format screens offer a dynamic display of the route map and all useful information for passengers, such as:
- The location of the train in real time;
- The positioning of exits and connections on the platform, in relation to each car location;
- Information on the opening of the doors and the direction of the descent of the car.
Recognised expertise in Passenger Information (PI) Systems
The ACTIA group boasts particular PI technical expertise in the rail sector. To date, no fewer than 6,000 ACTIA monitors are in operation on the tracks.
ACTIA equips trains, metros and trams worldwide: from Australia to South America, such as the Medellín metro and the Sydney tram. But among the group’s customers we also have large European public transport and rail companies, which represent a large market undergoing profound change.”
The MP14 metro aims to be a safer metro, it embeds the ACTIA video protection system (CCTV).
Data logging
The ACTIA recorder offers a large logging capacity. The images, sounds and metadata from the cars are recorded in real time. Solutions based on an IP network make it possible to broadcast the images simultaneously – on the control monitors and in the ground control centres – without extracting the discs.
With control and communication software, the control centre can search for and read videos on vehicles while they are still recording.
The management of events and alarms makes it possible to draw the operators’ attention to the right vehicle and the right camera very quickly and thus to display on the control screens the images of the zone subject to the alarm (Intercom, KSA, etc.).
Digital cameras
The cameras record in full HD quality. Fish-eye** cameras offer 360° vision, with no blind spots. With their panoramic vision, they cover the entire area to be secured.
In terms of safety, ACTIA offers high-performance video protection systems. The group equips more than 9,000 passenger transport vehicles worldwide with video surveillance.
