Israel Railways (ISR) awarded Alstom a EUR 45 million contract to install ETCS Level 2 onboard equipment on company’s rolling stock fleet. Under the contract, Alstom will design, supply, install, test and commission the system. Alstom will supply its Atlas solution.
The design of the project is expected to begin in January 2019.
“We are confident that our Atlas system will benefit ISR’s services and increase the satisfaction of its customers,” said Didier Pfleger, Alstom Senior Vice-President for the Middle East and Africa.
Project management will be conducted by Alstom, with installation taking about two years. The ETCS Level 2 signalling equipment will be installed on ISR’s entire existing rolling stock fleet, composed of 192 vehicles, with an option for another 34 vehicles.
Atlas is a complete system for optimal efficiency and complete safety, delivering benefits such as an improved line capacity (high-density, higher speed) and service reliability; “go-anywhere”, with flexible and upgradeable design and compatibility with energy-saving driving profiles. ETCS Level 2 optimises line capacity in complete safety by anticipating and adapting the speed of the trains through continuous train control and supervision via a radio-based signalling system.
