The video about the first dynamic tests of the Riyadh subway is already available on FCC Construccion Youtube channel
The FAST consortium, led by FCC, has successfully completed the first test on lines 4, 5 and 6 of the Riyadh Metro. The tests include the demonstration of the performance of the railway system, from the power supply to the signaling systems, making use of the trains delivered by Alstom to the consortium, earlier this year.
The trains do not have a driver. The movements of the train are protected by a state-of-the-art signaling system that controls the speed of the trains, guaranteeing safe operations, including the automatic opening of the train doors.
The trains are also equipped with an advanced passenger information system that provides real-time information to passengers through screens and speakers on board the train and on station platforms.
The commitment of the Riyadh Metro regarding environmental technology stands out for the use of solar energy, which will help to save 20% of the energy consumption in the main electrical installations. Likewise, a new energy recovery technology has been implemented through the "return" to the network of the braking energy of the trains in their approach to the stations.
