SUPPORTING YOUR BIG AMBITIONS SIGNALLING UNDER THE ALPS SWITZERLAND Switzerland is committed to shifting freight from road to rail. The Gotthard Base Tunnel is tangible evidence of that commitment: stretching for 57km beneath the Alps, it is the longest rail tunnel in the world and it plays a vital role in reducing the impact of road traffic in the fragile Alpine environment. Thales ETCS Level 2 signalling ensures this landmark asset is used to its full potential. The system uses continuous track-to-train radio communications to link trains to the signalling system, making it possible to run trains at up to 250km/h and shaving an hour off the previous best Zurich-Milan journey time. The new tunnel opened in December 2016, a year ahead of schedule. Thales also equipped the Lötschberg tunnel (34.6km) and is now equipping the Ceneri tunnel (15.4km) with ETCS Level 2 train control technology as part of the Swiss project aimed at moving traffic from road to rail. ETCS LEVEL 2 World s longest rail tunnel Trains can travel at up to 250 KM / H UPGRADING EGYPT S BUSIEST RAILWAY EGYPT Speed increased from 140 TO 160 KM/H Egyptian National Railways is embarking on an ambitious programme to modernise its rail network. Signalling upgrades are a key part of this programme: high-performance signalling makes it possible to improve safety, capacity and reliability at the same time. Modernisation of the 208km Cairo- Alexandria corridor Egypt s busiest line highlights what can be achieved. Thales signalling upgrade has made it possible to increase train speeds by 20km/h to 160km/h and has reduced the time interval between trains from 10 minutes to 5, boosting the frequency of services. The solution includes electronic interlocking, wayside equipment, telecommunications and a Centralised Traffic Control system. 25 MILLION passengers per year Extra capacity with 5 MINUTES headways 57KM from end to end

MODERNISING THE LONDON UNDERGROUND LONDON To help transport operator TfL (Transport for London) cater for rising demand, Thales is implementing SelTrac CBTC signalling across the District, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines four of London s busiest routes. The upgrade will mean faster and more frequent journeys for millions of passengers, with capacity up by a third. The main benefits will be delivered by 2022, when the frequency of trains at peak periods will increase to 32 trains per hour in central London. IN OPERATION SINCE 1863 One of the world s busiest metros Jubilee and Northern lines already in service 1ST METRO IN THE GULF REGION WINNING HEARTS AND MINDS IN DUBAI DUBAI 7 % increase in ridership in 2016 Driverless operation The Dubai Metro in the United Arab Emirates is the centrepiece of a successful programme to combat congestion and boost productivity in one of the world s fastest-growing cities. Thales implemented a complete technology package to deliver a world-class passenger experience: the solution includes SelTrac CBTC for reliable driverless operations, easy multimodal ticketing and passenger information. Wi-Fi is provided on trains, so passengers can make the most of their journeys. BREAKING NEW GROUND IN TAIWAN TAIWAN SUPPORTING CHINA S METRO EXPANSION CHINA China is the world s biggest urban rail market. It s also one of the fastest growing, with 8,500km of new lines planned in 40 cities. Thales is supporting this expansion through Thales SAIC Transport (TST) a joint venture with Shanghai Electric dedicated to urban rail signalling. Since its foundation in 2010, TST has put 630km of lines into service with SelTrac CBTC. A further eight lines go into operation in 2017. 8 LINES into operation in 2017 SelTrac CBTC 630km of lines in service TAIWAN S 1 ST TRAMWAY Kaohsiung is Taiwan s second largest city and its LRT (Light Rail Transit) system provides an attractive and reliable alternative to journeys by road. Work on extending the LRT to better serve Kaohsiung s nearly 2.8 million citizens is now underway. Thales is providing the customer, China Steel Corporation, with a signalling solution that includes the supply of interlocking systems, Traffic Light Priority systems and Automatic Vehicle Localisation Systems (AVLS).
