Barcelona, the capital of the north east region of Spain - Catalogna, is home to around 3.2 million people, Barcelona relies heavily on public transport for their daily commuting. The existing metro network comprises five urban lines and two interurban lines. The Line L9 line, of which first section was opened to public will soon become the backbone of the Barcelona's public transport system, crossing and connecting to strategic transportation hubs. Early March 2003, GISA awarded Siemens Mobility and its consortium the contract for equipping the line 9 with CBTC for driverless train operation. The CBTC system will equip 50 trains with steel wheels running on 42 km of line. The paper provides an overview over the CBTC contract.
