The commissioning in 2023 of our meshed ABC tram network as well as the restructuring of the joint bus network, require a major renewal of the SAEIV, in order to optimize and secure the performance of the urban transport network but also to make it more reliable. information to users », Explains Corinne Bouchoux, Vice-President Ecological transition and travel within the EPCI Angers Loire Métropole. For the city council, the expertise of Engie solutions, which is also the holder of the global performance contract with a consortium of companies for the development of a so-called intelligent territory, ” provide us, with the Navineo offer, the guarantees for a successful implementation. »
This Operational and Passenger Information Assistance System and the contract which enables it to be implemented will ultimately concern the 3 tram lines, some of which are under construction, and the urban bus network. That is to say a fleet of 105 buses and 107 trams. This solution will be operational for a period of eight years, from 2022 for line A of the tramway, then gradually for the entire urban fleet.
Already installed since 2004 and 2005 on the Angers bus network and then extended to the first tram line in 2011, this new version of Navineo will benefit from the latest technologies in the field, in order to facilitate use and above all make them more precise. . Especially since it will be deployed on all buses, trams and intervention vehicles that circulate within the Angevin agglomeration.
This modernization will allow operators to remotely manage traffic flows and adapt vehicle traffic to optimize user journeys. At the same time it will provide travelers with reliable information in real time via audio announcements and visual information. Navineo will also allow users to plan their route throughout their journey, especially for tram-to-bus connections or vice versa.
“In accordance with the smart city project, we are continuing to reinvent the living spaces of the Angevin agglomeration”
The system also integrates a VoIP2 radio link which will make it possible to make private, group and emergency calls and alarms which will facilitate voice communications with the RD Angers central. Useful in the event of an incident on the course.
The system integrates with third-party systems such as ticketing and rolling stock which allows the operator to obtain information on the use of his vehicles, and to broadcast information on screen as well as audio announcements. It also assists the driver by indicating the signaling control to be actuated manually.
While this renewal is not included in the overall performance market which aims to make the urban metropolis of Angers a smart territory, it contributes in terms of digitization, performance and optimization by improving the user experience and passenger comfort.
Travelers will now benefit from more reliable and real-time information, as well as personalized services. In terms of uses, these are key points in the intelligent approach such as that undertaken by the metropolis of Angers, as confirmed by Baudouin Huon, CEO Ineo Systrans within ENGIE Solutions: “ In line with the smart city project already supported by ENGIE Solutions, we are continuing to reinvent the living spaces of the Angevin agglomeration to meet environmental and comfort needs. »
All these functions are also intended to help RD Angers in more precise and efficient supervision of its entire fleet.
