5 1 Trainguard MT with CBTC: The key to more efficient metro operation The capacity of a metro line is increased by up to 50 percent. Shorter headways of between 80 and 90 seconds are possible. Intelligent control of the train can cut energy consumption by as much as 30 percent. Simultaneous improvement in train punctuality. Automatic adaptation of train service according to current passenger volumes. Page 5

6 Automated metros are more energy efficient and punctual and increase the overall transport capacity The metro train is controlled by means of wireless electronic data communication (communicationbased train control, CBTC) Moving-block principle provides shorter headways and greater safety Automatic train operation (ATO) controls the train automatically and ensures the efficient use of energy No trackside signals or track vacancy detection systems are necessary Less installation and maintenance effort and cost Page 6

7 Worldwide, more than 2,500 kilometers of wireless CBTC technology in operation or under construction North America Europe/Africa/CIS Asia/Australia 960km 600km 560km 20km 140km 130km South America 25km 215km In operation Under construction Page 7

8 The Siemens system Trainguard MT is the most widely used CBTC system in the world today About 1,000 installed kilometers (half of which are under construction) Driverless operation, such as on Line 1 in Paris, Line 4 in Sao Paulo, Line 9 in Barcelona Used globally by 25 metro operators on more than 30 lines Page 8

9 Siemens lighthouse projects Metro Line 10, Beijing Crossrail Tunnel, London Siemens supplied the Trainguard MT train control system for the longest CBTC-based metro line in the world About 1 million passengers per day Length: almost 60 kilometers Minimum headway: 90 seconds Siemens is automating the 21-kilometer Crossrail Tunnel with Trainguard MT and linking the route to the mainline network. Uninterrupted journeys from mass transit into the mainline network for the first time By 2018, up to 200 million people will be transported through London every year Page 9

10 2 Software-based fault management: Best possible use of capacities and resources Every technical or operational fault has negative effects on availability and on scheduled operations The software helps rail operators to make the best possible use of all available capacities and resources and suggests tailor-made solutions for scheduling and maintenance This results in more efficient maintenance organization for reducing disruptions and downtimes and the resulting operational hindrances Page 10

11 Collaborative decision-making through the networking of different work areas The maintenance manager coordinates and monitors all necessary maintenance and repair work The dispatcher coordinates the train operation on a predictive basis and in response to suddenly occurring events Collaborative decision-making on the basis of several alternatives and evaluation according to different performance identifiers ensures rapid response times in exceptional operating situations Page 11

12 Recommended course of action based on the operator s individual performance indicators Taking into account the operator s operating and commercial targets, the IT system determines various possible solutions and offers the operator a recommended course of action The following identifiers have been included in the study: Minutes of delay Missed connections Number of trains and passengers affected Cost of providing substitute rail transport Penalty payments arising from failure to provide transport service and lack of availability Claims for recourse by passengers Additional CO 2 emissions Reduced effects of faults, minimization of delays, lower maintenance costs and optimal utilization of the equipment Page 12
