# SYSTRA wins NEW contract for supervision of the RER B and D lines in PARIS

![SYSTRA wins NEW contract for supervision of the RER B and D lines in PARIS](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/gettyimagesok2.jpg)

The aim of the ATS+ solution (Automatic Train Supervision) is to improve traffic
on these two lines, which are among the busiest in Europe, and to improve the
responsiveness of the Unified Command Centre (UCC) that manages them. 

### An enhanced service for users and operators

With the deployment of ATS+, SNCF Réseau aims to enhance operating performance
to offer a better service for those living in the Greater Paris region
(Île-de-France):

- More efficient, with the automation of repetitive supervision, automatic
  control, and route control tasks for all trains in circulation;
- More agile, thanks to better handling of crisis situations in order to limit
  the impact of disruptions;
- More communicative, to improve passenger information;
- More capacity, thanks to optimised use of the existing infrastructure and
  faster implementation of new services;
- More flexible, both in the deployment and operational phases;
- More instantaneous, with the automatic provision to railway operators of all
  the parameters necessary for the implementation of their transport plan in
  real time. 

### A world first in supervision 

This new contract is one of a series of assignments SYSTRA has won since 2017
from SNCF Réseau for the deployment of ATS+:

- On the RER E, which, in view of its extension to the west, will benefit from
  automatic operation with the CBTC NExTEO solution on its central section.
  SYSTRA has submitted studies on traffic regulation and has been providing
  verification and validation services for the ATS+ system since June 2020;
- On RER lines B and D, SYSTRA was responsible for managing the industrial
  pre-studies for the deployment of ATS from December 2018 to June 2021.

As part of our new assignment, we will be updating the industrial pre-studies,
drawing up the specifications and package recommendations, before analysing the
industrial offers and assisting SNCF Réseau in its choice of technology.
