Alstom to provide new
signalling technology
and other upgrades for
Metromover automated people mover system
in Miami, Florida
23 June 2021
– Alstom has been selected by the Miami-Dade County Department of
Transportation and Public Works to provide its state-of-the-art
Cityflo 650 Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) solution for
the Miami-Dade Metromover system. Under the approximately €120
million contract (around USD 140 million), Alstom will also replace
or refurbish the power distribution system, the Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System, guideway switches and other
elements that make up the Metromover system, and introduce new
features that will increase reliability and availability, lower
maintenance costs, and enable more efficient operation while
maximizing passenger safety.
Opened in 1986, the Miami-Dade Metromover system
was the first urban application of the Westinghouse Automated
People Mover (APM) technology, which is now part of the Alstom
product portfolio. Over the years, the system has been expanded and
the vehicle fleet has been replaced but some of the major
subsystems are reaching the end of their design life.
“We are pleased to be supporting Miami-Dade
County in modernizing the iconic Metromover system, which has been
serving area residents and visitors for 35 years, and to be helping
the County meet its future mobility requirements,” said Jérôme
Wallut, President, Alstom Americas. “This contract reinforces
Alstom’s position as one of the world’s leading suppliers of CBTC
technology.”
The Cityflo 650 solution has been designed to
meet the most stringent safety, reliability, maintainability, and
availability requirements. The technology also allows a high degree
of operating flexibility to accommodate peak passenger demands and
will be able to connect with future mobility projects in Miami. The
first ever radio-based moving block CBTC system, Cityflo 650 was
first installed in 2003 on the APM system at San Francisco
International Airport. Today, the Cityflo 650 solution has been
adopted on more than 30 rail lines worldwide, with nearly another
30 under implementation.
The Cityflo CBTC technology was developed in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Metromover signalling upgrade will be
led out of Pittsburgh with many of the experienced CBTC developers
participating, supported by a local team that will manage the
project execution phase. Alstom’s Miami-Dade local partners and
subcontractors, including nearly a dozen Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise firms, will round out the highly qualified team.
Alstom will bring and leverage its turnkey
approach to the project to ensure the system’s signalling,
communications and wayside elements are fully integrated, and that
the delivery schedule is optimized. Alstom is a global leader with
50 years of proven experience in the successful design,
construction, commissioning, operations and maintenance of complete
automated people mover systems for cities and airports around the
world. In the U.S. alone, this includes systems in Atlanta,
Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando,
Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, and
Tampa.
