supply its ticketing solution to the network’s new North/South metro
line. This contract follows on from another one won by Thales at the
end of last year, for the design and realisation of Amsterdam Metro’s
supervision network.
Thales will install and equip 153 ticket gates and 45 ticket vending
machines along the new line. The line is roughly ten kilometres long,
includes seven metro stations and will carry around 180,000 passengers
per day.
The ticket gates that Thales will supply incorporate the latest
technologies from its innovative gate of the future. Most notably, the
various beam sensors used on more traditional ticket gate models have
been replaced with a single 3D camera per gate. This evolution will
improve the flow of passengers whilst reducing equipment and
ensuring greater security at an optimised cost.
The new supervision network will monitor the various systems
necessary for metro use in the whole of Amsterdam, including
passenger information systems, control of power generation systems,
e-Ticketing and security cameras.
Thales will also be responsible for maintenance and support for both
projects for a period of ten years.
