Alstom has launched two solutions, developed by Metrolab that will enhance passengers’ journeys in urban transport networks.
Optimet OrbanMap that is a real-time dynamic information system provided to passengers in metro stations, and allows visualisation at a glance of the metro network, its activity, trains position, travel times, service interruptions, and the level of comfort aboard the trains.
Optimet real-time train occupancy, another smart solution, will ensure a smoother passenger flow on platforms. It shows the level of occupancy per car via a colour LED strip (red, orange or green) above the screen doors which stretches all along the platform, as well as on monitors in the station passage ways and/or elevators.
For operators, Alstom is also launching Mastria, the first multimodal supervision solution. Thanks to Mastria, all the actors of mobility in a given city are linked: bus, tram and metro networks but also taxi, shared cars and bikes, police, etc. The objective is to maximise fluidity between all the means of transportation in a city and to orchestrate passenger routes.
“Alstom innovates in order to ensure that the railway system becomes more integrated, more efficient for transport operators and more attractive for passengers. We think that the role of Alstom is not only to provide rolling stock, services and maintenance but to offer 
mobility solutions to a world in profound transformation. The digital solutions we are launching today and our recent moves beyond the rail sector with the launch of Aptis and the investment in EasyMile, will revolutionise the world of transportation,” Henri Poupart-Lafarge, Alstom CEO said.
The announcements come in the lead-up to the UITP exhibition 2017.
