VINCI Energies public transport system projects
Some examples in France...
Roiret Transport* implemented the low current (public address, intercom, telephone, passenger information, video surveillance) and BMS Building Management ystems for a large number of trams in France (Orleans, Montpellier, Angers, Tours, etc.). Recently the business unit participated, as part of a consortium, in the design and construction of the Rhônexpress light rail system that connects the centre of Lyons with Saint-Exupéry Airport in less than 30 minutes. It rolled out the electrical equipment and low current systems needed to operate the trains along the 23 km of track (9 km of which were built new).
At Marseilles' Saint Charles railway station, Actemium installed similar low current systems and implemented the BMS (Building Management System). Along the T3 light rail system in the Greater Paris area, the SDEL Transport* business unit commissioned the fibre-optic passenger information boards and video cameras.
Sample message of information to travelers from the D line subway, Lyon (France)
The dedicated Line D TCC manages the train traffic and oversees the station equipment of the Lyons metro's busiest line, which serves 280,000 passengers a day and 20,000 at peak periods. Traffic on the line, comprehensively handled by three regulators at the Traffic Control Centre, can reach a frequency of one train every 90 seconds at peak periods.
...and abroad
In Europe's major cities, projects often involve extending and renovating existing metro lines and above all extending them with tramway lines. Many tramway projects are under way in Eastern Europe as well as North Africa, the Middle East and other parts of the world. Outside Europe, most of the major capitals are now seeking to build a metro system, often combining it with existing surface transport systems.
In Romania, the TIAB* business unit regularly works on the Bucharest metro during installation and upgrade of lighting, fire protection, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and power supply equipment. In Spain, Spark Ibérica* installed several electrical systems during construction of Line 9 of the 45 km, 53-station Barcelona metro. Similarly, Roiret Transport* worked on the construction of the Rabat and Casablanca light rail systems.
