Preamble – Definitions


SYSTEM INTEGRATION:System integration is the bringing together of various subsystems in order to ensure that they function together as a system.

OPERABILITY:Operability is the ability to keep an equipment, a system or a whole industrialinstallation in a safe and reliable functioning condition, according to pre-definedoperational requirements.

Preamble – Approach through operability requirements


One of the keys to a successful System integration stands in the right definition of the System itself and therefore the functions it has to achieve…

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Lille’s situation


Lille

Greater Lille Area• 85 districts• 1.200.000 inhabitants

13/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Existing network and system


The Transport Authority : LMCU (Lille Métropole Communauté Urbaine)

The Metro network :• Line 1: 13.5 kilometres, 18 stations – first commissioning in 1983• Line 2: 32 kilometres, 44 stations – first commissioning in 1989 (last extension in 2000).

VAL System :• Rubber-tyred• Specific track design• Light metro• Unattended Train operation• Common OCC for both lines• Interchangeable Rolling stock (VAL206 and VAL208)


14/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Line 1 route


8


15/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Key features


• 13.5 kilometres (inc. 9 km underground), 18 stations

• PSD at each platform

• Stations equipped for 26-meters trains operation but constructed to accommodate 52-metres trains (CW)

• Two passenger connections with Line 2

• Transfer track with line 2

• Operation centralized at the OCC

• 53 VAL208 trains (26m long, and 2.08m wide)

• Track heating equipment on exterior sections


16/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Operation performance


• Commercial operation from around 5:15am to 1:00am (Day+1)

• Commercial Speed: 32 km/h

• Peak periods: 6:55am to 7:25am, and 4:40pm to 5:10pm

• Minimum operational headway: 60 seconds

• Train capacity (4 pax/m²): 156 passengers

• Commercial operation range exceptionally extended to 44 hours

• Four provisional terminus

• Line capacity (4 pax/m²): 8500 PPHPD

9


17/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Project objectives


• Additional access creation to some stations

• Increase depot capacity

• Station platform modification to accommodate the 52-m trains: PSD, cameras, Finishings, etc.

• Power Supply and Tunnel Ventilation adaptation to new operation configuration

• Double train capacity by doubling their length:New RS order : new 52-m trains or 26-m trains that can be coupled

/

Twenty-six existing VAL208 26-m trains will be coupled

Increase the system capacity to at least 15.300 PPHPD


18/39



• Replace the ATC (including ATO/ATP functions)

• Replace pneumatic PSD with electric ones

• Replace Power Supply equipments

• Replace Low Voltage Distribution Panels

• Replace Tunnel ventilation and smoke exhaust systems

• Adapt the stations to match the upgraded standards regarding in particuliaraccess for disabled people.

• Replace the system supervision (ATS, SCADA, CCTV and Communication means)

Replace/Modernize all obsolete equipmentsAdapt the stations to match nowadays accessibility standards

10


19/39



• On-board CCTV

• Limitation of train stoppings in interstation

• Mixed fleet operation (simultaneous operation of 52-m and 26-m trains)

• Improvement of operation of provisional terminus: • Simplify stteing and cancellation procedures• Bidirectional operation on one terminus

• Automatic anouncements on incidents

• Realtime stopping point selection from OCC

• Information on train stopping in interstation

Implement new functions


20/39



Line 1 possible extension

1 or 2 additional stations after C.H.R. B-CALMETTE terminus

21/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Major constraints


• Operation must not be disturbed at any time

• Level of safety must be maintained

• Inconvenience to passengers should always be minimized

• Train detection system cannot easily be reused

• Existing wayside VAL equipment is very sensitive to unexpected train movements, and to unequipped trains (ie. trains without VAL on-board equipment).


22/39

Lille Metro Line 1 renewal project – Major constraints


• Conversion of Line 1, to a more efficient and modern line, closer to the needs of passengers and Operation staff

• Renewal of operating systems, without disruption of service, and maintaining the security level

• Implementation and commissioning of a new UTO ATC replacing an existing UTO ATC

a World first…

• Replacement of PDSs, on a line already in UTO

a World first…

Focus…

• Why do operablity requirements need to be taken into account in System integration?

• What can new technologies bring to enhance the System’s operability?

Example: Passenger exchange management

Centralized HMI (OCC)

Local HMI

16


31/39



Frequent centralized HMI operability issues (1)

• Abilty to manage degraded modes

• HMI integration


32/39



Frequent centralized HMI operability issues (2)

• Understandable information

• Crucial commands availability and accessibility

17


33/39



Frequent local HMI operability issues

• Local HMI protection

• Local HMI accessibility

• Local HMI centralized supervision


34/39



New technologies enhancing System operability (1)

• Provisional Terminus management:

- Allowing one shot tunbacks

Earlier retrun to depot

- Reducing setting and cancellation durations

Conclusion

• Operability requirements to be taken into account in the System’s design in order to ensure a successful integration

• Operability requirements must be considered at the equipment level but above all at the System’s level

• New technologies allow operability improvements
