Line 4 has connections with all the Paris Metro lines and RER (Regional Express Network). The future 1.7km-long extension of Line 4 will concern the communes of Montrouge and Bagneux in the South of Paris, and will include two new stations. Line 4 crosses Paris from North to South and serves 27 stations along a 12.1km-long route. Line 4Ĭarrying approximately 740,000 passengers a day, Line 4 is the second busiest metro line after Line 1 with recurrent overloading during peak and off-peak hours. Among the KPIs, the number of trains during peak-hours is now 100%, whereas it struggled to reach 92% before the automation.Īnd the customers are appreciative: traffic is growing 70% faster on Line 1 than on the other lines of the network.
#METRO 4 LINE PLAN PLUS#
Now the automatic system brings adaptability and potential tailoring to the offer, plus an increase in commercial speed and capacity, eco-driving, strong resilience and traffic reliability improvement. At the time, this modernisation process of automating an operating line without interrupting the traffic was unprecedented in the world it was conducted with the comfort of the 750,000 daily passengers always in mind.ĭealing with curves and platform screen doors (PSDs) during the retrofit, plus negotiating with the social partners and organising the mixed fleet operation were among the difficulties of the project.

The line also doubles the route of regional trains RER line A (the busiest in Europe).Īutomation of Line 1 was completed in December 2012 after a mixed fleet operation period (trains under manual control and trains without drivers operating at the same time). Line 1 was chosen because it was the oldest and busiest line of the network, and the level of traffic on it remains high all day long but is subject to route-changes due to large-scale events in Paris. In this context, Metro Line 1 was the first line on the network to be converted from manually driven operation to fully automated operation.
Reduce maintenance and operation costs.This modernisation programme has the following goals: In the years between 19, the metro transport system underwent its first wave of modernisation with the emergence of Operations Control Centres (OCC), signal boxes, on-line regulation systems, and an automated pilot system.īecause of the need for regular renewal of equipment, RATP launched a second wave of modernisation that we are currently in the midst of. Most of the Paris Metro network was built between 19.
