Casa Tram, operated by the RATP Group, is ready to begin operation of Casablanca's light rail

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 11, 2012 - SEPTEMBER 2012 — Casablanca, MOROCCO. This system's first 30-kilometer long tram route is expected to begin operation on 12/12/12. It will connect the city's main neighborhoods located east and southwest of the downtown district, and will have 49 stations. It is estimated that 250,000 passengers will take advantage of this new service each day. The goal is to reduce accidents and delays while offering rapid, on-time, and accessible light rail transport, at an affordable price. To achieve these objectives, GOAL SYSTEMS will be in charge of carrying out the best planning and optimizing all operations using GoalRail®metro and GoalStaff® software.

Casablanca's transit authority, Casa Transports, has awarded a five-year contract to RATP's subsidiary company RATP Développement, for operation and maintenance of the city's first Light Rail line, as well as for overseeing the preparation phases for operations and personnel.

From the very beginning, RAPT Développement chose GOAL SYSTEMS to work jointly in providing optimized scheduling for the Casablanca light rail operations, once again relying upon the mutual trust and confidence developed during earlier projects such as the Algiers light rail system in Algeria and the Gautrain system that connects Pretoria and Johannesburg in South Africa.

The software chosen for the project includes GoalRail®metro and GoalStaff®, which allow optimized scheduling for timetables, human resources, and equipment. These products represent world-class software solutions, which guarantee full, customized optimization for transport systems.

With this new project, GOAL SYSTEMS is reinforcing its presence in northern Africa, strengthening its range of light-rail solutions offered, and expanding its already substantial levels of experience and effectiveness when working with urban transport systems.
