Santerne, a member of the 5176 Vinci group, is the leader of the consortium which holds the head contract with the Regie des Transports de Marseille (RTM), the operator of the Marseille Metro.  The RTM operates 36 four-car trains on two metro lines as well as 578 buses and 26 trams. Over 500,000 journeys are taken on the RTM network each day.

Each metro train will be equipped with DTI's latest hybrid MDR-5R mobile digital recorders, with eight high-resolution megapixel IP cameras with integrated microphones providing comprehensive video and audio recording throughout the train. The scope of works also includes DTI's video management software suite.

Norbert Schuwer, general manager DTI France, said: “We are very pleased to receive our second order in France and we will look forward to further growth in the region plus exploring further opportunities with RTM for their buses and trams.”
