Bangalore, officially known as Bengaluru, is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka, and it has a population of more than 8 million and a metropolitan population of around 11 million, making it the third most populous city and fifth most populous urban agglomeration in India.  The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has engaged Siemens Limited to implement driverless train technology systems that will improve capacity, punctuality, reliability, and provide enhanced safety for passengers.  

The solution includes communications-based train control (CBTC) comprised of electronic interlocking, automatic train protection system, operation control for automatic train monitoring by train supervision system and telecommunication driverless train technologysystem.  This is Siemens Limited’s first CBTC project with the highest Grade of Automation – GoA4, where the train is automatically controlled without any on board manual intervention.

Siemens has been a leader in providing state-of-the-art metro-rail solutions and takes great pride in partnering with BMRCL to improve the connectivity, accessibility and coverage of Bengaluru’s metro rail network.  Bengaluru Metro is the ninth metro service where Siemens India is involved.  The advanced signaling and telecommunication system will be the basis for a safe and efficient mass transit system, which will enhance passenger experience and fulfil the needs of BMRCL.  Bengaluru Metro will play a pivotal role in enhancing quality of life and economic growth of the city, and Siemens will continue to partner such projects with its global expertise and local know-how to help improve connectivity and public infrastructure.
