Abstract :
After presenting the requirements specified by NYCT in terms of re-signaling, this paper addresses Phase II - re-signaling the Canarsie Line and Phase III - Demonstration of Interoperability. It focuses on the key technical assets of the CBTC installed on the Canarsie Line. It discusses the challenge of re-signaling the Canarsie Line during 24/7 revenue service and presents the cut-over strategy applied. The paper provides the current progress (as of February 10, 2006) on the re-signaling project itself and on the interoperability issue
