A contract with Alstom Signaling Operations, LLC, has been approved by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board to upgrade the agency’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System.
The DART SCADA System, a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, was installed in 1996.
Work will replace software, servers, workstations, tunnel ventilation control systems, an overview display wall and a cybersecurity program, as well as provide data backup with remote-site archive sub-systems.
Added capabilities will include multi-site functionality, multi-modal future integrations, Downtown Dallas (D2 Subway) Rail Project expansion, Silver Line Rail Project interface locations and new optical transmission network backbone compatibility.
