| Siemens equips Beijing Metro's Olympic Branch Line Siemens Transportation Systems and China Railway Signal & Communication Corp. are equipping Beijing's Metro Line 10, which will also serve the Olympic Park, with the most up-to-date signaling and control technology. This will make it possible to run trains at shorter headways and adjust operation more quickly to changing passenger volumes. Line 10 will be put into operation when the 2008 Olympic Summer Games start in Beijing and will link the Olympic sites with the city center and other lines of the Beijing Metro. For the consortium the order is worth about EUR 30 million. This is the second project in China after metro lines 4 and 5 in Guangzhou to be equipped with the innovative and up-to-date automatic train control system from Siemens. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
