Safer train departures on the Victoria Line

With an ever increasing emphasis on safety, Metronet/London Underground required a method of safe train departure (for One Person Operation) for the thirty three Victoria Line platforms. The project required provision of transmission and receiving equipment for all platforms and a new fleet of trains.  In 2006, KeTech was chosen to design a system for this prestigious £6.5M VLU project due to its extensive experience of both Platform-to-Train systems and the London Underground environment.

Leaky feeder based transmission technology was selected as the optimum solution for the Victoria Line project. The choice was made against a wealth of experience in the various technology types available for Platform to Train applications and is by far the most flexible when performance, installation and ease of maintenance are considered.

In addition to the transmission element of the project, KeTech designed the platform camera configuration to meet the latest London Underground Standards for CCTV coverage.
