Dubai Metro – the longest driverless metro in the world
Dubai Municipality has identified the need for an urban rail system to supply additional capacity, relieve growing motor traffic and support the city’s continuing development.The Metro network will be fully integrated within the overall network operated by the Dubai Municipality Public Transport Department. Bus routes and stops will be organized around the backbone provided by the rail system. Taxi stations and park-and-ride facilities will be included in key Metro stations to further enhance the central system’s role. The start for construction was given as October 2005.
The Dubai Metro will be one of the most advanced urban rail systems in the world and will be the catalyst for tourism, financial and economic growth. Investment costs for the full system have been assessed at a grand total of about AE$14.3 billion, including civil works, stations, system fixed equipment, trains, engineering and financing.
The objective of the new metro, consisting initially of two lines and scheduled to go into revenue service in 2009, is a 16,000 people per hour per direction capacity for the Red Line and 7,400 for the Green Line, by 2015. When completed, at a total of over 70km, this will become the longest driverless metro in the world. Elsewhere, trains will run on specially designed elevated viaducts. The viaduct design and aesthetics has been developed specifically to actually enhance the urban architecture along its corridor. In no location do the tracks cross the public highway, ensuring fully safe mode segregation.
All stations will be equipped with platform screen doors, ensuring optimal safety for passengers and allowing to full air-conditioning to all stations, whether elevated or underground. Once in full operation, the Dubai Metro is projected to carry approximately 1.2 million passengers on an average day, and 355 million passengers per year.
News: Alcatel announced that it has been awarded a global contract valued at approximately 250 million US dollars by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to supply, integrate and deploy its proven driverless train control and telecommunication systems for the Dubai Metro in the United Arab Emirates.
