Siemens Mobility and Sporveien today commissioned the modern Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system for passenger service on an initial, three-kilometer-long section of the Oslo Metro. The EUR270 million signaling project, awarded to Siemens Mobility in 2021, encompasses the complete replacement of the legacy signaling system across the entire 86-kilometer-long network and integration of the new Fornebubanen line. With Siemens Mobilitys CBTC solution Trainguard MT, operating at Grade of Automation Level 2 (GoA2), Oslo Metro can now handle 36 trains per hour, up from 28 previously. This is a capacity boost of around 30%. Combined with 25 years of digital maintenance services and intelligent asset management through Siemens Mobilitys Railigent X, this modernization ensures maximum reliability and connectivity supporting Oslos ambitious goal of becoming the worlds first emission-free city.
