Coppilot - Safety system for the monitoring and control of platform screens

  • Client: RATP
  • Line: 13
  • Year implemented: 2006
  • Number of station: 3
  • Number of platform: 3
  • Duration of operation and testing: 9 months
  • Three different platform screen doors in test

The crowded nature of certain stations in the Parisian subway and the high number of traveller intrusion on the tracks have led the RATP to put a security system in place, which will put an end to the irregularities and delays observed on the most saturated lines.

In fact, the RATP has called upon the services of Clearsy within the framework of a project: the installation of prototype platform screens at the Invalides and St Lazare stations.
