Teleste has been selected as a provider of on-board passenger information (PIS) and CCTV solutions for Alstom’s Citadis SpiritTM light rail platform in North America. The solutions will be deployed to about 100 trains, which Alstom will deliver to the cities of Toronto and Ottawa in Canada. Both contracts also include possible options for additional vehicles.
Under the contract, Teleste’s deployment to Alstom includes systems for the delivery of passenger information, public address, intercommunications and on-board video surveillance. The solutions allow public transport operators to ensure the safety of passengers and their daily rides, while making it possible for the passengers to enjoy versatile on-board services such as the delivery of timely and accurate passenger information. Wide dynamic range and crystal clear visibility of the information is guaranteed by our Mitron on-board displays.
The deployment also includes features based on wireless train-to-ground communication that provides operators with an agile tool for various functionalities.
This year, Alstom was awarded a EUR 200 million contract to supply 38 Citadis Spirit LRVs for the Stage 2 O-Train LRT expansion project in Ottawa, Ontario. Currently, Alstom is supplying 34 Citadis Spirit vehicles for the city, as per a 2013 subcontract agreement with Rideau Transit Group, and will maintain both vehicles and the light rail system for a period of 30 years.
Also this year, Metrolinx awarded Alstom a EUR 355 million contract for the supply of 61 Citadis Spirit for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. The vehicle supply contract includes an option for additional vehicles.
