Siemens: Mobility modernizes Oslo metro with CBTC signaling

The technology will increase the reliability, availability and efficiency of the Oslo Metro, which will ultimately improve the passenger experience for Oslo residents, ”said Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility. “This important project further underscores our leadership position in the field to provide automated signaling systems that improve the infrastructure and sustainability of public transport.

Oslo’s CBTC system will operate at Automation Level 2 (GoA2) and radio technology will capture real-time data on vehicle position and speed conditions. The digitized system will allow the Oslo metro to safely increase the number of vehicles on a rail line and the higher frequency of train arrivals will give them the ability to accommodate more passengers on the system. Additionally, the ability to constantly receive system status updates will improve operational efficiency, resulting in fewer delays and more up-to-date travel information.

To maintain and support the system, Siemens Mobility will provide its complete digital asset management solutions for railway systems that will reduce the risk of failure of critical assets, increase availability and minimize maintenance costs. This will include the Railigent digital application suite, a cloud-based platform that will enable the Oslo Metro to intelligently use railway data, optimize their maintenance and operations, and help maximize the availability of its fleet.

The Oslo Metro is the largest of the Nordic metros and is part of the public company Sporveien AS, which operates and maintains the Oslo Metro and the Oslo Tram. Inaugurated in 1966, the current network consists of five lines extending over 88 km, serving 101 stations, 17 of which are underground or covered. Using a fleet of 115 three-car Siemens MX3000 trains, the Oslo Metro carries more than 100 million passengers per year.

Siemens Mobility Trainguard MT’s CBTC solution is the world’s most widely deployed automatic train control system and is used by many operators including Paris, Beijing, New York, London and Copenhagen.
