Discover Thales at Eurasia Rail 2016

In its sixth edition, Eurasia Rail 2016 will give national and international firms the opportunity to demonstrate their railway infrastructure solutions and technologies. Providing a full spectrum of state-of-the-art solutions, Thales deploys critical, IT-based systems for mainline and urban transport, comprising signalling, supervision, communications, security, passenger information and fare collection solutions. Thales is pleased to showcase its achievements and technological expertise, namely its vast experience on the Eurasian continent.
 

European Train Control System (ECTS) is the core signalling and train control component of ERTMS, the European Rail Traffic Management System for mainline networks. With its AlTrac ETCS solution, Thales is a worldwide leader in mainline signalling. The ETCS standard is gaining global traction due to its success on the European continent. Specifically, Thales’s successful presence in Eurasia is exemplified with the 422 km on the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed line in operation since 2014 with ETCS solution. Very recently, the Cumaovası–Tepekoy 35 km commuter line, near Izmir, was inaugurated after the implementation of Thales interlockings.
 

With over 80 CTBC projects in more than 40 major cities worldwide, used by 3 billion passengers every year, SelTrac® CBTC is the world’s most widely adopted and trusted system. Thales has equipped the Kadıköy-Kartal metro line in Istanbul, with its reliable technology and is now currently deploying its solution on the extension in the Kartal – Kaynarca section. In Azerbaijan, Thales will equip Baku’s Purple metro line with an integrated solution, comprising security and telecommunications.
 

As urban centers swell and develop, inhabitants require a transport system that is as flexible as their lives. Thus, Thales offers solutions for Light Rail Transit (LRT) networks, an effective compromise in terms of investment capacity, function, pollution reduction and aesthetic design. Cutting-edge Thales LRT solutions optimise daily operations and maintenance activities as well as ensure quality of service.
Thales guarantees a smooth and secure travel experience. Best of all, Thales’s advanced systems are compatible with all rolling stock suppliers and interface with all third-party systems.
