Industrial Internet Control System for Metro

Unprecedented growth in urban
population is increasing ridership
of existing metro systems and
demand for new and improved
transportation solutions. In 2014,
54% of the global population
lived in urban areas; by 2050,
this number will climb to 66%.
But metro systems throughout
the world are showing their age,
resulting in disruptions, delays,
and even safety risks. Meanwhile,
transit authorities face a shortage
of experienced personnel,
rising costs, and tightening
environmental regulations.

Solutions to Meet Today’s Challenges

In today’s increasingly urban world, to improve your operations you
need a metro control system that is integrated, data-driven, and
accessible from anywhere.

To meet the challenges facing metro operations, GE has developed
integrated control solutions that provide a comprehensive view
and intuitive control of the disparate systems that make up a
subway network. GE’s Industrial Internet Control System (IICS)
makes it possible to actively monitor and dynamically regulate
processes throughout your metro system, reducing strain on
operators and improving overall system reliability.
