Railway Conversations with Doc Frank

#67 – CBTC for a Greenfield Metro with Bill Whitmore (Part 1)

Doc Frank

This is the first part of a longer conversation between Doc Frank and Bill Whitmore who currently lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and works on the inception of a brand-new three-line metro network. The focus of this conversation is the planned rollout of Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) on this greenfield metro network, including the need for a CBTC supply strategy, whether CBTC and rolling stock should come from the same supplier, how to ensure the selected CBTC product is proven but not outdated, what options there are for interoperable CBTC, and much more.
