CBTC-NYCT'S QUEST FOR INTEROPERABILITY

The establishment of practical interoperability interface standards, their validation and obtaining multiple supply sources for wayside and carborne communications based train control (CBTC) equipment is a challenging and crucial part of NYCT's CBTD complementation strategy. With the awarding of the Phase II and Phase III contracts, NYCT, working in partnership with three signaling suppliers, is moving forward, on schedule, with the effort to establish a CBTC standard for New York and one that may be attractive to other North American transit properties.
