DRIVERLESS SYSTEMS - ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT (ART)
Top Performer in Driverless Automation
Our Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) solutions fill the gap between street-running trams (low capacity) and heavy rail metros (high capacity). ART excels as a
medium capacity transit system on dedicated guideways, whether at-grade, elevated or underground.
Technological Innovation
ART’s revolutionary Linear Induction Motor (LIM) propulsion system enables fully automated driverless train operation. It consistently delivers in excess of 30,000 passengers per hour, per direction, around the clock, in all weather conditions.
More Affordable Train Transit
ART typically requires half the capital cost of a conventional underground metro system.
Operates on small curves and steep grades to allow greater use of less expensive guideways Permits smaller, less expensive stations Reduces operating costs Sustainable Advantage
A climate-friendly, non-polluting alternative to motorized road and air travel, ART offers superior service that entices people from their cars.
Lighter trains, slender guideways, unobtrusive stations blend attractively with or into planned and existing buildings, structures and streetscapes Lowest wayside noise of any rail transit system Consistent and dependable service with short wait times at stations and quick journey times Key Features
Suitable for multiple applications Lower annual operations and maintenance costs Ability to operate at very high service frequencies Easy system expandability All-weather operation on challenging alignments Accommodates far more passengers than rail systems with grade crossings at higher than average speeds High levels of safety, reliability and low life-cycle costs In major cities throughout the world, ART systems transport 150 million people per year.

DRIVERLESS SYSTEMS - AUTOMATED METROS
Bombardier has the capability to supply a complete range of automated metro systems, from low-to-intermediate capacity rubber tired metros using the BOMBARDIER* INNOVIA* technology, intermediate
capacity steel wheel, steel rail systems using Bombardier's Advanced Rapid Transit technology, to high capacity steel wheel, steel rail automated metros using the BOMBARDIER* MOVIA* vehicle.
Bombardier's standard offerings for automated metro systems include the service-proven BOMBARDIER*CITYFLO* 650 communications-based moving-block Automatic Train Control (ATC) and BOMBARDIER* SEKURFLO* transportation security solutions.
Successful implementation of automated metro systems requires very careful attention to safety issues, and careful integration of many subsystems including vehicles, ATC, trackwork, power supply and distribution, communications and security systems, platform screen doors, automatic fare collection, and maintenance facilities. A rigorous systems engineering approach is essential to this process. Bombardier has a track record unmatched in this area, beginning with the first successful implementation of a steel-wheeled driverless automated metro in Vancouver in 1986, and extending to the present day with successful automated metro systems in cities around the world.
