  • Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion
    Case Study Location: Moscow, Russia Product: Acom Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion The Moscow Metro system has been moving passengers throughout Russia’s capital city since 1935. In recent years, the Moscow Metro network was extended outside of the city boundaries to the new urban development of Orekhovo-Borisovo- Severnoe in the south of Moscow. This light-rail line, known as the L19, runs from Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya to Bunninskaya Alleya. It is an extension of the longest line in the Metro network. Unlike the older parts of the Metro, this extension is entirely above ground. Moscow Metro often uses this extension to develop and test new technologies, such as those for lighting, seating, and communications. Once the technology has been refined and proven through this testing process, it is incorporated across the entire Moscow Metro system. The challenge When the time came for Moscow Metro to update the Supporting the system’s six sites communications system for the L19 Metro line, it chose RCI The communication system comprises six sites.

Glávnyj Universáĺnyj Magazín literally "main universal store") With the façade extending for 242 m. along the eastern side of Red Square, the Upper Trading Rows (GUM) were built between 1890 and 1893 by Alexander Pomerantsev (responsible for architecture) and Vladimir Shukhov (responsible for engineering). The trapezoidal building features a combination of elements of Russian medieval architecture and a steel framework and glass roof, a similar style to the great 19th-century railway stations of London. William Craft Brumfield described the GUM building as "a tribute both to Shukhov's design and to the technical proficiency of Russian architecture toward the end of the 19th century”. The glass-roofed design made the building unique at the time of construction. The roof, the diameter of which is 14 m., looks light, but it is a firm construction made of more than 50,000 metal pods (about 819 short tons (743 t), capable of supporting snowfall accumulation.

    Foreword from the head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the year 4 Performance indicators 20 Metro staff 30 Development and technical upgrade 44 Safety and security 50 International activity 56 Future development 62 1 The year 2012 can certainly be described as a year of great accomplishments, including the opening of new stations, reconstruction of existing facilities and metro technical systems. This year we have introduced a new section “Novogireevo” – “Novokosino” on the Kalininskaya line”, that allows now quick, convenient and reliable mode of transport to be provided to almost 200,000 inhabitants of the district. Besides, the metro map shows the long-awaited station ”Alma-Atinskaya” on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and the station “Pyatnitskoye shosse” in the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Foreword from the head line. The future of Moscow transport system is unthinkable without development of the metro, which plays a key role in the city’s public transport of Moscow Metro system. The Moscow Metro management carries out all the changes planned and appointed by the Moscow Government by paying as much attention to the demand of Muscovites and guests of the capital as possible. By 2020, 67 new stations are planned to be constructed. At present, we prioritize the construction of the Exterior interchange circuit line with the phased commissioning of line sections, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from station “Maryina roshcha” to the northern areas of the city by 2015. Also the construction of the new Kozhukhovskaya line from the station “Aviamotornaya” to the station “Nekrasovka. By 2017, the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line will be formed and operated between the station “Novokosino” and the districts, Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino.
