Metropolis train details
The Metropolis trains are designed to run at a top speed of up to 90km/h and are equipped for driverless automatic transport. The trains have a width ranging from 2.30m to 3.2m and a length between 13m and 25m. The car body is made of aluminium or stainless steel and is attached with either steel or rubber tire wheels depending upon the customer’s requirement.
The train is offered to customers as a complete turnkey system, including the train set and the entire
signalling, track works and services.
Each car set is fitted with wide and customisable doors, wide gangways and modular seating arrangements for optimised passenger flow. Dedicated spaces are allocated for disabled passengers.
The trains are designed with a standard trainborne Ethernet backbone, which provides a strong broadband communication network for security and other subsystems, including optional public address and passenger information equipment.
An information and communication technology (ICT) system is installed to integrate the passenger information and entertainment modules within the security & communications subsystems. The advanced passenger information and surveillance system aboard the cars ensures better passenger comfort.
The TrainTracer online tool monitors the main components of the train and the real-time information of each train condition will be delivered to the depot and operational control centre (OCC).
