Lines 3, 5 and 13 have been modernised accordingly and lines 6, 9 and 11 are currently being equipped. The system shortens the interval between trains with complete safety. OCTYS Open Control of Train Interchangeable Integrated System developed by RATP Group, is a key component of the metro modernisation program (semi-automa- ted with driver) that uses solutions developed by each industrial group indiffe- rently, thereby ensuring system interoperability.
