URBAN SUBWAY FOR THE CITY OF LILLE IN FRANCE

LE METRO DE LA COMMUNAUTE URBAINE DE LILLE

The author explains the reasoning that has led to the choice of a pneumatic-tired small-gage (2.06-3.25 m) subway which is highly automated as regards running control as well as station design (sliding doors as in lifts). This article covers more particularly the civil engineering and town planning aspects.
