Mitsubishi to verify and test MTA New York City Transit CBTC system

Following a period of evaluation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has secured a contract for the verification and testing of interoperability with the existing CBTC system by MTA New York City Transit (NYCT). NYCT plans a system-wide implementation of an interoperable CBTC system on all subway lines by multiple CBTC manufacturers. It currently utilises two interoperable CBTC manufacturers and aims to qualify additional companies. The contract qualifies Mitsubishi as a third CBTC manufacturer.
