Alstom will supply Brazil's largest operational control
center for suburban train operation in Sao Paulo

With this OCC, the operation of the six main train lines
(lines A, B, C, D and F) will be managed from one single
location, built especially to house the system. Initially, lines
E and F will be migrated, which correspond to the east zone of
Sao Paulo. Lines B and C will follow by the end of 2006 and in
early 2007, the final lines A and D will complete the system.

 In addition to the 26 operation sub-stations, 6 supervision
stations, 8 engineering and maintenance stations and 35
surveillance screens assembled in line to control traffic and
power, ALSTOM was also responsible for supplying all the radio,
telecomms, integration, and data transmission systems. The
main challenge of this important project was to combine all lines
and systems without stopping the operation. The whole process was
performed in an integrated way, with plenty of synergy, without
changing the regular functioning of the lines", states Valter
Ortega Garcia, project manager at ALSTOM.
