The goal of the partnership is to develop sensing and navigation capabilities that can be deployed in semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles in urban and mainline rail environments.
As COO, Mario Péloquin will be responsible for day-to-day coordination of operations, and leading the MTA’s team of agency presidents.
The successful completion of the project now allows RET passengers to purchase tickets through an app on their smartphone.
During his career, Mario Peloquin has led business development activities as well as business lines at renowned North American companies like Siemens Canada and Thales Canada.
According to MTA’s vision, this line will also be the first interoperable one in the world: it will allow Thales equipment to work seamlessly with other CBTC suppliers’ equipment.
Main benefits will be delivered by 2022, when the frequency of trains running during peak periods will increase to 32 trains per hour in central London — a train every two minutes — with frequency increases at other times as well.
The MTA gave preliminary approval to two contracts to Siemens Industry Inc. and Thales Transport & Security for the installation of a Communications-Based Train Control signaling system on one of New York City Transit’s busiest subway lines.
The extensive project will equip seven MTR lines with the latest Communications Based Train Control technology, safely adding capacity, reliability and maintainability on the existing infrastructure system.
Will provide train control, a passenger information system, platform display signs, and steering rail design equipment, as well as upgrade the fare collection systems. The new system will be operational in 2016.
Will provide a permanent communications-based train control test track facility for Metropolitan Transportation Authority New York City Transit.
