The next station displayed aboard a Citadis tramway in Lyons (France) Platform Passenger Information displays in the Lausanne metro, line M2 Infotainment solutions for your passengers Alstom offers the real-time information and entertainment systems you need to keep your passengers well-informed and entertained while in transit. Our Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions deliver these benefits via a system architecture that covers all rail transport environments: stations, railway infrastructure, trains, depots and control centers. It is designed to work with other functions including Security, Network & Telecoms and Control & Monitoring to maximize operational efficiency. What rail operators need, what passengers want Today s mainline and urban rail networks are beginning to supplant airline routes and individual cars. The renewed ascent of rail should continue well into the century if rail operators can meet new regulatory requirements and high passenger expectations for quality service. ICT developments play a key role. Advanced ICT systems allow you to welcome passengers, including the mobility impaired, and to attract a broader customer base by satisfying passenger appetites for hightech amenities. These include general or interactive travel and safety information in real-time, throughout their trips, continuous WiFi connections for email and internet aboard trains, and even train intranet with audio and video channels with personalized content. Smart investments Good for attracting business, new generation Passenger Infotainment system solutions also make good business sense: they bring you new means of improving internal business operations in terms of punctuality, maintenance efficiency, rolling stock availability and staff communications. Investing in obsolescence-proof backbone technology with modular subsystems is a cost-effective decision for a long service life. Such modularity facilitates integration, configuration and later upgrades. An ICT system can integrate all Security & Communications subsystems and Passenger Information & Entertainment modules in a common architecture. Operators can use existing IT and telecom infrastructure and services already deployed. Choosing an advertising-based solution can help offset initial investment and operating costs. Technology and expertise at your service Alstom can provide you with the technology and expertise you need to modernize your rail networks. We have a solid track record in designing, installing and maintaining information processing and transmission systems for every rail environment: trains, stations, tracks & tunnels, depots and control centers. We work with maintenance and infrastructure contractors and also in partnerships with telecom, internet and other service providers. 2 Alstom Transport Alstom Transport 3

Live television throughout the Atlanta subway (USA) Our Passenger Information System s architecture covers three distinct environments: trains, fixed installations (stations, depots, track & tunnels) and the control center. This system architecture is shared and integrated with three other functions for control and operations: Security Control & Monitoring (train traffic, energy supply) Network & Telecom infrastructure The system is modular and upgradeable, offering customers multiple options: an operator may choose to equip a single environment and later equip others, or deploy one of the four functions and interface it with other functional areas already at work, knowing that a migration path exists for a later, fully integrated system solution. The system is scalable and configurable to an expanding rail network. The equipment in an Alstom Security system is either designed and manufactured in-house or sourced from reliable suppliers. All equipment conforms fully to rail transport environment standards. 6 Alstom Transport 6A Alstom Transport 6B Alstom Transport
