    Reference Sheet Transportation Lille Metro consigns pickpockets to history with UTCFS Lille Located in northern France, Lille is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Situated on the Deûle River, near the Belgian border, Lille is the capital of the Nord-Pas de Calais region and the préfecture of the Nord department. Transpole Lille Métropole has a mixed mode public transport system, comprising buses, trams and a driverless metro system, all operated under the Transpole name. The Lille metro is a VAL (light automated vehicle) system, opened on May 16, 1983 as the world’s first automatic metro. The metro system has two lines, with a total length of 45 km, serving 60 stations. The tram system consists of two interurban tram lines, connecting central Lille to the nearby communities of Roubaix and Tourcoing. 68 urban bus routes cover the metropolis, eight of which cross the border into Belgium. Pre-existing situation & UTCFS's role UTCFS's solution Across the entire Lille metro network there are UTCFS offered Transpole a complete video over 1,200 security cameras installed. surveillance solution. Data from the existing Transpole sought to modernise its 1,200 cameras that monitor stations and lines surveillance system to increase passenger is directly transmitted through 80 VisioWave security. It decided to upgrade the system to Evolution encoder/decoder devices. Analogue enable a complete digital grid overview of all data from cameras is converted into digital 60 stations. All camera data would need to be streams, enabling efficient transmission over storable and available for possible an IP network.

Nous devons répondre aux aspirations de chacun, celles de se déplacer facilement et confor- tablement dans un espace public de qualité ; nous devons aussi favoriser le développement et le rayonnement de notre territoire et prendre toute notre part dans la lutte contre le réchauf- fement climatique. Préparé sous la responsabilité d’Eric Quiquet, 1er vice-président chargé des transports et de Daniel Janssens, vice-président chargé du dossier, le Plan de déplacements urbains de Lille Métropole répond à ces objectifs et entend ainsi inventer une mobilité durable pour demain. Nous l’avons construit dans une large concertation avec les territoires, les institutions et les habitants.

  • Borders, Visions and Regions the Cross-Border Governance Capacity of the Øresund Region How to Improve the Influence of Cross-Border Regions
    Borders, visions and regions The cross-border governance capacity of the Øresund Region How to improve the influence of cross-border regions Jens Bjørn Gefke Grelck Department of Human Geography Supervisor: Teis Hansen Course code SGEMO8 Examiner: Markus Grillitsch Semester/year: HT/2020 Abstract In recent years, cross-border regions have been challenged by multiple levels governance creating barriers rather than solutions to support cross-border spaces. This study aims at inquiring how the role of cross-border regions is changing in relation to their governance capacity. Governance capacity relates to actions, practices and visions of such regions. Through investigating a case study in the Øresund Region, the study analyses how the reorganisation of a cross-border institution leads to a new type of governance capacity. The empirical insights of the thesis were collected through stakeholder interviews and desktop research. In this case study, I challenge traditional state-centred views of space, and instead suggest that there is a need to change the national political discourse in order to benefit from cross-border regions. Key words: Cross-border regions, governance capacity, Øresund, Greater Copenhagen, rescaling, institutional reorganization Word count: 18.519 ii Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge gratefully the help of all contributors of this thesis. This includes my supervisor Teis Hansen, thank you for your guidance, for giving me new insights and for your support when I was having trouble making decisions. These COVID-times have been difficult. I would also like to thank Thea Wiborg and Johan Wessman at Øresundsinstituttet, who helped me find contacts and fresh perspectives to cross-border issues in Øresund I didn’t have the slightest clue existed.

Thirty representatives were invited to participate in the study. However, only seven responded and finally completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire was available on the Internet and included a total of 16 questions, which were both close-ended and open-ended. Among other things, the questions were related to typical underground stations, safety instructions and exercises, and technical systems, installations and equipment.

  • Useful Information
    Lille Jean Monnet Conference ‘Regions and regionalism in the European Union’ June 26th, 27th & 28th 2017 LILLIAD Learning center Useful Information Useful information THE CITY OF LILLE The city of Lille is the fourth largest metropolitan area in France after those of Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Lille is si- tuated in French Flanders on the Deûle River near Bel- gium - France border. It is the capital of the Nord-Pas -de-Calais region and it hosts the prefecture of the Nord department. Located only one hour from Paris, 35 minutes from Brus- sels and 80 minutes from London, Lille could live in the shadow of its renowned neighbours. Nonetheless, Lille cultivates its own traditions which are not less eminent than those of the neighbours. Before becoming a French city, Lille has been under Flemish, Burgundian and then Spanish ru- le. Due to its rich history, Lille possesses an outstanding architectural heritage. It was a merchant town in the Middle Age, citadel at the time of Louis XIV, industrial centre in the 19th century and ambitious quickly developing city in the 20th century. Nowadays the city preserves the relics of its past while looking at the future. Lille is a land of exchanges, cros- sing cultures and migrations. Today thanks to its inhabitants Lille has become a meeting point of north European and Mediterranean cultures. Ready to welcome all the cultures, the city has become a true ‘melting pot’. Its rich and bright history has given a strong personality to Lille and its population. GETTING TO LILLE Car & Motorcycle Driving into Lille is incredibly confusing, even with a good map.

  • Launch of Hyderabad Metro Network
    PRESS RELEASE Paris, 30 November, 2017 Keolis begins new metro operation in Hyderabad (India) On 29 November, 2017, Keolis has begun its first passenger services on an initial 30km section of a new automated metro network in Hyderabad, India. Expected to carry 1.3 million passengers daily when fully operational, the Hyderabad metro will help to reduce road congestion and boost the local economy. This new metro service in Hyderabad reinforces Keolis’ international expertise and leadership in automated metro operations and maintenance. Keolis has begun operating the first section of a new automated metro network in Hyderabad, India. The initial section of the network covers 30km, from Myapur to Ameerpet and on from Ameerpet to Nagole. The additional sections will open in the next few years, delivering an impressive network 68 km in length, with three lines and 65 stations. To mark the occasion, an official opening ceremony was held on 28 November at Miyapur station in the presence of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Hyderabad is the thriving capital of southern India’s Telangana state and has a population of nearly 10 million people. The new metro project is a Telangana State Government initiative to support improvements to the city’s public transport and its long-term economic and social development. With this new network the city can now boast the longest overhead metro line in the world and when finally complete it will also have the second largest metro system in India. The Hyderabad metro network is equipped with CBTC1 technology, which allows for higher frequencies and speeds for passenger journeys.
