Abstract
The authors describe how, as part of its ongoing capital program, New York City Transit (NYCT) is modernizing its signal system with communications-based train control (CBTC) technology. The Canarsie Line is the first NYCT line to be equipped with CBTC and a unique aspect of the Canarsie Line project is the procurement process that is being used to select the new signal system and attain interoperability between various lines and between suppliers systems
