Keolis UK
Keolis UK Operations
Keolis has been established in the UK for 20 years
We are a joint venture partner in 4 UK Train Operating Companies (TOCs)
This includes both the country’s biggest franchise and its only high speed railway
We deliver more than a third of UK Rail passenger journeys – 641 million every year
Also active in the light rail market, we are running the Nottingham Tram NET System and the Docklands Light Railway in London
Our businesses employ over 14,000 people across our services and manage 600 stations

Transition to Operations
Keolis advised the Public Transport Authority and Project Manager with the tasks needed for a best in class operation solutions, with the correct planning for a better integration in the project.
The PTA’s should engaged a comprehensive systems approach in designing the BRT, with the goal of providing a comfortable, punctual, efficient and environmentally friendly transport system.

Painted track
Running way guidance can be used along the line-haul portion of a route to permit higher speed travel in narrow corridors
Some guidance technologies also can be used to permit safe operation on narrow streets with frequent pedestrian use, at reduced speeds.

Optical guidance: Easy operation
keep operating under any circumstances
Immaterial optical
guidance
Optical guidance requires little investment in right-of-way. Its main uses are precision docking and low-speed operation on narrow rights-of-way
Because complex electronic detection and mechanical control systems are required, optical guidance adds a significant amount to the vehicle cost.
These markings must be maintained to a sufficient level of contrast for the sensors to reliably detect them. Maintaining the pavement markings may also add ongoing maintenance costs.
