Technology Signaling Line 4 has been operating over capacity due to large passenger flows for a number of years. With the continuous extensions of operating time, the problems of aging equipment and increasing passenger demand will further increase the operating pressure of the two lines. In June 2021 it was announced that Shanghai Metro has started to update of the signal system and finish before December 31, 2024.Blueprint to bring Shanghai's New Cities closer These are the last lines in the system that are equipped with fixed block Alstom URBALISTM 200 system, not equipped with CBTC systems capable of headways as low as 90 seconds. CASCO successfully won the bid for the renewal and transformation of the signaling using Qiji TACS system.CASCO Qiji™ TACS is on the stage, Shanghai Line 3/4 will start to upgrade the signal system!
