Siemens Mobility and Stadler consortium wins contract to modernize and upgrade the Lisbon Metro
The consortium of Siemens Mobility and Stadler have won a €114.5 million contract to provide the Lisbon Metro with a state of the art signaling system and a new fleet of modern trains.
Stadler will supply 14 three-car metro trains, while Siemens Mobility will install its Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system Trainguard MT on the Blue, Yellow and Green lines, and will upgrade the existing equipment.
This will include installing its on-board CBTC technology across 70 trains of the existing fleet, as well as on the 14 new Stadler trains.
Thales unveiled the latest version of its world-leading Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) solution with the release of
SelTrac™ G8.
Designed for urban rail, metro and light rail networks and deployed worldwide, SelTrac™ can be continuously and progressively enhanced to take advantage of the latest technologies.
The new digital architecture supporting G8 marks a recognition by Thales that whilst rolling stock may have a lifespan of 40-50 years or more, train control electronics becomes obsolete more quickly. New train functionalities can be difficult and sometimes impossible to add without starting from scratch; SelTrac™ G8 is designed to solve these problems with its new platforms and architecture, allowing customers to benefit from lifelong upgrades. This includes metro systems operating on previous versions of SelTrac™, as the G8 platform can be provided as an upgrade to existing SelTrac™ systems.

RAILWAY AGE, MARCH 2021 ISSUE (expanded version): Exploring train control system Human Machine Interface requirements.
Requirements for safety-relevant Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for train operators are becoming more common around the world. The evolution toward safety-relevant HMIs for train control is already well under way in Europe and Asia, most notably as part of the widespread adoption of the European Train Control System (ETCS), with more than 50,000 miles of the worldwide rail network equipped or contracted to be equipped with ETCS (8). While HMI safety requirements have not yet become widespread in North American rail applications, the anticipated re-emergence of HMI safety requirements could soon be an example of history repeating itself.
