APS is a service-proven solution for catenary-free light rail and streetcar operation that preserves city center aesthetics, reduces system footprint by eliminating electrical poles, optimizes safety for passengers, pedestrians and road traffic, and optimizes operation reliability. More than 12 years of experience have demonstrated the key advantages of such a ground power supply solution, which include no electrical power limitation, no risk of running out of power in degraded operation mode, full compatibility with all types of road and track-bed surfaces, and easy line extensions.
APS operates in harsh climatic conditions, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, heavy rain, snow and ice. Moreover, APS matches catenary performance over unlimited distances at speeds of up to 37 mph, regardless of slopes and while maintaining full onboard utilities.
Since the first implementation of the APS system in Bordeaux in 2003, 188 Citadis (more than 350 ordered) light rail vehicles powered by APS have run 7.5 million miles and 40 miles of single track have been equipped with APS. Most recently, the city of Rio de Rio de Janeiro, host of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, selected Alstom APS technology in order to preserve and restore the city’s authentic architecture.
