A NEW CONCEPT OF RAILWAY SIGNALLING FOR THE DUSSELDORF AND DUISBURG METROS

UNA NUOVA CONCEZIONE DI SEGNALAMENTO FERROVIARO PER LE METROPOLITANE LEGGERE DI DUSSELDORF E DUISBURG

In Duisburg and Dusseldorf sections of the existing tram network are being converted into a rapid transit system to come into service in 1988-9. Two new tunnel sections will be built for the new system, which will be provided with a railway type signalling system. In both cities the new metro will be integrated with the remainder of the tram system. This article presents a technical description of the project, including details of power supplies, communication systems and rolling stock.
