地铁信号CBTC

日立铁路将与安大略投资合作，投资超过1亿加元（约合7100万美元，5.3亿人民币）在其位于多伦多York Mills的工程技术中心，，以升级其世界领先的基于通信的列车控制（CBTC）信号技术。

旨在开发新一代CBTC技术SelTracTM（G9），第九代SelTrac CBTC解决方案将集成人工智能（AI）、5G通信、边缘和云计算。下一代系统将为全球轨道交通运营企业提供更低的成本，最大限度地减少碳足迹并增强乘客体验。

该投资包括扩大日立铁路在安大略多伦多的员工队伍，创造100个新工作岗位，并保留1000个高技能职位，包括研发和工程职位。

日立铁路·城市轨道信号总经理Ziad Rizk表示：“对我们世界领先的下一代SelTracTM技术的投资超过1亿加元，这是非常令人兴奋的，我们非常感谢安大略政府和安大略投资公司的支持。通过整合人工智能、5G、边缘和云计算，我们的系统将使全球城市轨道交通运营商能够改善乘客的旅程，提高运营效率。这项安大略省发明的技术是加拿大的一个成功故事，它创造了就业机会，促进了经济增长。”

CBTC是一种现代化的城市信号系统，它利用列车和基础设施之间的无线通信，比传统信号系统更有效、更安全地运营城市交通和地铁系统。SelTracTM发明于安大略，是世界上第一个移动闭塞CBTC信号系统，目前在全球40个主要城市的100多条线路上运行，包括渥太华的O-Train。

安大略是北美最大的科技集群之一，以其在人工智能、自动化和连接技术方面的实力而闻名。安大略省在智能交通方面的专业知识与日立铁路的全球能力中心相结合，使安大略成为为城市铁路和地铁开发下一代数字解决方案的自然之地。

经济发展、创造就业和贸易部长维克费德利表示：“作为北美最大和最受欢迎的科技中心之一，安大略正在推动下一代技术的发展，这些技术将加强包括自动化和运输在内的关键部门的经济增长。通过投资安大略，我们很自豪能支持日立铁路在多伦多的扩张，并感谢他们选择安大略作为他们持续增长和成功的理想场所。”

该公司位于多伦多的创新中心是其卓越的工程中心，配备了最先进的设施，包括实验室、测试区和模拟环境。

此次扩建增加了日立铁路在加拿大不断增长的业务，包括该国各地约1200名员工，他们正在多伦多，温哥华，蒙特利尔和渥太华交付和维护主要的轨道交通项目。多伦多是该公司国际城市交通信号技术业务的所在地，以及位于市中心和密西索加的大型项目团队，这些项目团队正在提供主要的新交通基础设施，如安大略线和休伦湖线。

为了支持这项投资，安大略通过投资安大略基金提供450万加元的资金。

Hitachi Rail is proud to partner with Invest Ontario as part of a more than C$100 million investment to upgrade its world-leading Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling technology.

Hitachi Rail aims to develop a new generation of its CBTC technology, SelTracTM (G9), which will integrate artificial intelligence (AI), 5G communications, edge and cloud computing. The next generation system will offer transit operators worldwide lower costs, minimized carbon footprint and enhanced passenger experience.

The investment includes the expansion of Hitachi Rail’s workforce in Toronto, Ontario, creating 100 new jobs and retaining 1,000 highly skilled positions in its York Mills office, including R&D and engineering roles.

“The over $100 million investment in the next generation of our world-leading SelTracTM technology is hugely exciting – and we are grateful to the Government of Ontario and Invest Ontario for their support,” said Ziad Rizk, Managing Director, Urban Rail Signalling, Hitachi Rail. “By integrating AI, 5G, edge and cloud computing, our system will allow urban rail transportation operators around the globe to improve passenger journeys and operate more efficiently. This Ontario-invented technology is a Canadian success story that is creating jobs and boosting economic growth.”

CBTC is a modern urban signalling system that uses wireless communication between trains and infrastructure to operate urban transit and subway systems more efficiently and safely than conventional signalling. SelTracTM, invented in Ontario, is the world’s first moving block CBTC signalling system, currently operating in more than 100 lines in 40 major cities around the world including the O-Train in Ottawa.

Ontario, home to one of the largest tech clusters in North America, is renowned for its strength in AI, automation and connectivity technologies. The province’s expertise in smart mobility, combined with Hitachi Rail’s global competence centre, makes Ontario the natural place to develop next-generation digital solutions for urban rail and metros.

“As one of the largest and most sought-after tech hubs in North America, Ontario is driving the development of next-generation technologies that will strengthen economic growth across key sectors, including automation and transportation,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Through Invest Ontario, we are proud to support Hitachi Rail’s expansion in Toronto and thank them for choosing our province as the ideal place for their continued growth and success.”

The company’s York Mills office in Toronto serves as its engineering centre of excellence, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including labs, testing areas, and simulation environments.

This expansion adds to Hitachi Rail’s growing presence in Canada that includes around 1,200 employees across the country, who are delivering and maintaining major transit projects in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa. Toronto is home to the company’s international urban transit signalling technology business, as well as large program teams based downtown and Mississauga that are delivering major new transit infrastructure, like the Ontario Line and Hurontario.

“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is investing $70 billion in the largest transit expansion in North America, connecting millions more Ontarians to reliable and affordable public transit. Today's announcement means Hitachi Rail will be helping even more workers gain the critical expertise needed to deliver Ontario's generational projects,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation

“Hitachi Rail’s investment is a testament to Ontario’s strengths in future technologies that are transforming industries from manufacturing to transportation. We are excited to support the company in advancing a made-in-Ontario technology that keeps cities around the world on the move,” said Jennifer Block, Interim CEO of Invest Ontario.

In support of this investment, Ontario is providing $4.5 million in funding through the Invest Ontario Fund.
