Hitachi Rail is set to provide the entire ticketing system for Île-de-France Mobilités’ new Cable 1 line, the first urban cable car in its system.
The company will work with EASIER to provide the overall system, with the latter set to supply around 60 access gates spread across the line’s five stations.
The solution supplied by Hitachi will include ticket vending machines linked to a back office connected to the Île-de-France Mobilités information system, as well as validation gates designed by EASIER, a brand of the IER Group (Bolloré Group) and Hitachi Rail’s supplier for the project.
Hitachi will also be responsible for the integration of the system to ensure a smooth and secure travel experience, with particular attention set to be paid to the adaptability of equipment dedicated to people with reduced mobility.
The new system will act as a continuation of the current facility supplied by Hitachi Rail to the Société des grands projects (SGP) for the new metro lines (15, 16, 17 and 18)
Yves Baumgartner, Vice-President Revenue Collection Systems, Hitachi Rail, said:The Câble 1 project represents a major step forward for more sustainable mobility in the south-east of the Paris region.
We are contributing to this innovative infrastructure by providing a reliable ticketing system that is accessible to all and designed to simplify the passenger experience.
