The board of Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has approved a contract with Alstom (Alstom Signalling Operations LLC) for the upgrade of its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
DART’s SCADA system was installed in 1996. As part of the contract, Alstom will replace software, servers, workstations, tunnel ventilation control systems, an overview display wall, and a cyber security program. It will also provide data backup with remote-site archive sub-systems.
Once the upgrade works are completed, the system will have additional capabilities. For example, it will have multi-site functionality, multimodal future integrations, Downtown Dallas (D2 Subway) Rail Project expansion, Silver Line Rail Project interface locations, and new optical transmission network backbone compatibility.
