METRO STATIONS

Elevated Stations Underground (UG) Stations

ENTRANCES
Station entrances will be located with particular
reference to passenger catchment points and physical site
constraints within the right of way allocated to the CMRL
system. Integrated entrances and ticket offices will also be
permitted. All entry points will be assessed and addressed to
flood control requirements on a station by station basis.
Station entrances will have provisions for closing and
securing the station during non-operational hours.
POWER SUPPLY

The power supply system and overhead equipment

mainly consists of:
 Three 110/33 kV & 110/25 kV AC Receiving Substations
(RSS) (Gas Insulated Substations), related Auxiliary Main
Substations (3), Traction Main Substations (TSS) (3), and
civil works

 All civil works and equipment for the 25 kV AC traction

supply.
SIGNALING
 CATC - Continuous Automatic Train Control System

 ATP - Automatic Train Protection

 ATO - Automatic Train Operation

 ATS - Automatic Train Supervision

 EI - Electronic Interlocking systems

LIFTS AND ESCALATORS

The number of lifts and escalators within the

Chennai Metro system will be approximately:

 Lifts: 120

 Escalators: 300
Plan for Commencement of Operations
CONCLUSION

Finally I conclude that overall benefit of the CMRL

operation in Chennai will be more to city. Moreover the
accidents occurring in the site during construction must be
prevented. During the tunneling process many building were
affected in further steps it should be reduced.

The travelling fares to be collected should have to

reconsider and reduced. Any way advanced features in metro
rail properly will be simplify and make the travelling
convenient.
