Urban rail transportation

Artelia is a key player in the design and monitoring of large-scale urban transport projects. We are internationally recognized as a leading independent engineering firm for tramway, metro, train and high-speed train (TGV) projects, in which we have been involved for over 25 years.

The rail sector is constantly evolving, with increasing demand for modern, high-performance, and sustainable infrastructure. That is why we are involved throughout the project life cycle, from planning the successive phases to obtaining permits, including preliminary studies, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. We integrate technological, environmental, and architectural considerations from the outset to deliver optimized, sustainable networks.

Our expertise is backed by multidisciplinary teams capable of working on all aspects of a rail project, from strategic studies and predictive engineering to route design, electrification, signaling, communication systems, and facility safety. Using advanced digital tools and innovative methodologies, we ensure that our work is efficient, safe and compliant with the constraints of the tracks in operation.

Our comprehensive approach covers all areas of railway engineering, including infrastructure, civil engineering, engineering structures, railway systems (track, catenary, energy, signaling, and telecommunications), rolling stock, and safety and operations management. We design complex projects, from preliminary studies to commissioning, and also carry out operational and environmental impact studies. With an integrated vision and a high degree of adaptability, we design sustainable urban transport systems that are tailored to meet the challenges of tomorrow and transform cities.
