Implementation of GOAL SYSTEMS’ Complete Solution for the Algiers Metro Begins

Sept. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Algiers, ALGERIA. Throughout the month of June preparations for implementing GOAL SYSTEMS’ complete metro solution in the Algiers Metro have begun, comprising the integrated applications GoalRail®metro (for optimal generation of the timetable grid, trains schedules and driver duties) and GoalStaff® (for optimal generation of work schedules for drivers and other groups such as inspectors, control center operators, or supervisors). This solution will be used for planning operations by RATP El Djazaïr, the company in charge of running the transportation system, under the supervision of the state-owned company Algiers Metro (EMA).

RATP DEV is a subsidiary of Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), a state-owned company that manages the public transportation network in Paris. RATP DEV operates transportation systems (buses, metros, trams, and trains) worldwide: in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy, Morocco, South Africa, Brazil, the United States, and Asia, and in Algeria through its subsidiary RATP El Djazaïr.

RATP DEV and GOAL SYSTEMS maintain a close strategic collaborative relationship, thanks to which RATP uses GOAL SYSTEMS planning tools in its headquarters in Paris for carrying out studies and simulations for future awards. In addition, RATP DEV uses GOAL SYSTEMS tools for planning operations of a growing number of installations in which it participates or collaborates, ever since the success of the first implementation carried out in South Africa for the rapid rail Gautrain.

In 2006 RATP and Systra were awarded the development and implementation of the metro by the EMA. The metro line is envisioned to transport 60 million passengers yearly, that is, a capacity of 20,000 passengers per hour each way, thanks to an initial fleet of 14 metro units supplied by CAF.

GOAL SYSTEMS’ experience in this type of projects, along with RATP’s business knowledge, will make it possible to unfold the complete GOAL SYSTEMS solution in a brief period of time, allowing for the solution of a critical process in the Metro business and the optimal planning of more than 500 daily trips and a staff of around 250 employees for this first Metro Line.
