At Alstom we understand transport networks and what moves people. From highspeed trains metros monorails and trams to turnkey systems services infrastructure signalling and digital mobility we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day 80000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Imagine playing a central role in reducing the carbon footprint of Canadas busiest public transit system and doing so with a consistently ranked Top Employer with a global reach. As part of the ONxpress consortium Alstom is proudly working to transform the collective mobility of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton areas (GTHA) through the OnCorridor Works project and we are hiring for hundreds of roles. The GO Expansion scope : new electric locomotives fleet upgrades train control systems network electrification signalling telecommunications and digital systems maintenance and much more.

Objective

The train movements are controlled by Automatic Train Control (ATC) System in a safe way. The Trackside ATC is responsible to send to Trainborne ATC the track conditions that allow entering in a given segment. Those conditions could be: point machines at right position track clear speed restriction route set etc. The Trainborne ATC compares the information received from Trackside ATC against train actual conditions (speed position track direction) and can restrict its movement if there is any risk to go over a safe limit.

European Train Control System (ETCS) is the ATC solution chosen for GO Expansion project.

For the ETCS onboard design the PrEM manages the technical contractual scope of the project ensuring its delivery according to the quality cost performance and scheduled commitment originally agreed and if applicable updated as a result of negotiated variation orders.
