Summary
The invention of the full automated metro, in France 50 years ago (by Prof. Gabillard) and the construction by the French MATRA Company is becoming a revolution in the transport sector. Being strongly CAPEX and OPEX efficient also planet respectful, each town is wishing to get one. The potential market for rail transport is exponential! My ambition is to continue to develop rail transportation more and more automated and digitized as well as automated urban railway all over the world: Designing, Financing, Building and Operating.
