Alstom has been awarded a contract by the Municipality of Amsterdam to deploy its signalling technology on the four existing metro lines and on the new North-South line, currently under construction.

The system will enable automatic train operation, increased capacity and the realisation of energy savings.

The total value of the contract is approximately €100 million.

The contract includes the design, manufacturing and supply of a complete CBTC (communication based train control) system, based on Alstom’s proven radio-based Urbalis solution.

The contract covers the complete replacement of the train control, signalling and train supervision systems and associated communications networks.

The re-signalling work will be done at night ‘without any disruption to existing operations, Alstom said.

The Amsterdam metro network consists of more than 40 km of track and 58 stations.
