Siemens Mobility, in collaboration with the Autonomous Transport Authority of Paris (RATP) and the transport administration of Greater Paris Île‑de‑France Mobilités (IdFM), has completed the automation of Line 4 of the Paris Metro, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Unmanned trains in the Paris Metro

Now, all trains operate in unmanned mode, thanks to a radio channel-based traffic control system and other automation measures.

This not only improved efficiency by reducing intervals and energy consumption but also underscored the significance of autonomous transportation in urban infrastructure development.

Line 4, inaugurated in 1908, is the second busiest in Paris, serving 700,000 people daily.

This success builds on a project initiated in 2015 and highlights Siemens Mobility’s leading role in automating the Paris Metro.
