Alstom and the Paris regional transport organisation, RATP, have successfully completed an initial experiment concerning the autonomous stabling of a tram in the RATP's T7 depot in Vitry-sur-Seine. The project lasted a total of six months, including three at the Vitry site. A phase of additional studies and tests has just been launched. The tram, by means of sensors (lidars), detects obstacles and reacts accordingly with reductions in speed, maximum service braking or emergency braking as the case may be. It is also capable of recognising its location on the site and recognising its stabling point. The results confirm the feasibility of using these technologies inside a depot as the tram moves autonomously, runs at the required speed and stops at a pre-ordained stabling point. To carry out this experiment, Alstom partially used the technology of Easymile, a French start-up working with RATP on the development of an autonomous vehicle.
