Alstom CBTC range: world leading high-capacity signalling

Trouble-free installation for capacity and cost efficiency 

Proven CBTC technology supports optimisation and upgrades with zero service disruption, providing a new dimension in overlay capability. Shorter headways between trains means that more trains can be deployed, resulting in an average 30% higher capacity, whether on manned services or unattended train operation (UTO).  

These systems can be deployed quickly, allowing some of the world’s largest cities to meet their transportation needs – rapidly and reliably. This was the objective when doubling capacity on the existing line in Madrid or easing congestion in Delhi by offering alternative routes across the city. Additionally, with the system making greater use of energy saving strategies, consumption can be reduced by up to 30%. 

Simplifying signalling

Urbalis Fluence (World-first implementation for Métropole Européenne de Lille)

Urbalis Fluence™ takes the CBTC experience a step further by merging interlocking functions into a train-centric architecture. This innovative approach enhances operational efficiency and safety, making it an ideal solution for modern urban transit systems.  

Moreover, radio contact between trains enables gaps to be shortened, resulting in even lower headway and 24-hour operational availability. This seamless communication not only improves punctuality and reduces wait times for passengers, but also maximises the overall capacity and efficiency of the transit network.
