RSSSweden-headquartered 177 TagMaster has received an order from 513 Bombardier Transportation to provide its advanced RFID solution for a project to upgrade and extend the signalling on Line 5 on the São Paulo Metro in Brazil. Bombardier has placed an initial order for Heavy-duty (HD) readers and ID-tags which will be delivered over a 12 month period beginning in August 2012. Additional orders for TagMaster’s Heavy-duty ID-Tags and system spare parts for the project are anticipated during 2013.

Bombardier’s scope for this project in São Paulo comprises the turnkey design, supply, installation and commissioning of its Cityflo 650 communications-based train control (CBTC) solution for the existing 8.4 km of line with six stations plus the extension of the line by 11.6 km with 11 new stations and a total of 34 trains. The TagMaster RFID Readers will be installed under the trains and provide both primary train location information and accurate positioning information to the Cityflo 650 CBTC train control system. This driverless system will enable trains to circulate in safety with a short, 75-second, headway, therefore maximising the line capacity. The system will also use TagMaster’s field programmable version of the HD Tag, which will enable the Bombardier installation team to programme individual tag location information in the tag to suit the actual mounting position.
