An important milestone in the Beijing metro line project has been met – the brand new Line 5 has commenced its passenger service. This is the firs SYSTEMATICS based Integrated Supervisory Control System (ISCS) in Beijing and it is also the very first in China to have an ISCS operational on day one with a passenger service.
WRSA designed and commissioned the software and performed the integration testing and system commissioning. Line 5 runs thriugh the centre of Beijing from the northern part to southern suburbs and carries a dense passenger service running at 4 minute intervals. It provides a vital link with the existing lines 1, 2, 13 and also with the future line 10.
The Beijing ISCS will manage 22 stations, including 16 underground and 8 interchange stations. The line extends over 27,6 km and includes 1 Depot as well as main and backup Operational Control Centres.
SYSTEMATICS will integrate Traction Power Control, environmental Control, Automatic Fare Collection, Passenger Information Displays, Public Address Systems, Fire Alarms and CCTV Security subsystems.
The system will be on a one year trial operation and will be used for the Beijing Olympics in august this year. Beijing Metro Operation Company (BMOC) and its local staff are operating the system on a daily basis.
