Challenges: fast and safe access on the Grand Paris Express
On the new Grand Paris Express lines, trains run without staff on board and stations are on average more than three kilometres apart. In the event of an incident or infrastructure inspection, reducing access time to the section between stations is crucial to limiting the impact on passenger service and containing the risk of knock-on incidents, particularly when passengers who have disembarked onto the tracks must be secured quickly. In this context, the need emerged for a lightweight, autonomous and rapidly deployable intervention solution. Launched at the end of 2020 and developed with partner KILOW, KeoScoot has gone through three generations of prototypes tested on six different infrastructures, with the latest iteration laying the foundations for series production to equip the first Grand Paris lines.
