High-Speed Trains

Chinese Ministry of Railways has selected the Wonderware System Platform from the Invensys subsidiary Wonderware as the SCADA platform to control the entire Chinese railway network. A new brand name, Fyra, has been chosen for these trains to distinguish them from the existing passenger trains, Thalys, which operate internationally throughout Europe. The new train will bring European cities closer together. Metro has begun installing turnstile fare gates at four Red/Purple Line subway stations and will monitor progress to make sure passenger traffic moves smoothly while still achieving the goals of preventing fare evasion and improving transit station security. The contact-less fare-payment system is expected to reduce the need for customers to carry cash or have the right denomination or currency to ride the system. Trains fitted with receiving devices will be able to receive signals from the nearby pseudolites.
