MetroLib: the future "Gabonese Smart Transport" Project background: *********************** The traffic in the city of Libreville, Gabon, and its suburbs has critically increased over the years with a major impact on economic activity in the country. The construction of an automated light rail in Libreville (MetroLib) is a credible alternative to stem the traffic flow in the Gabonese capital and its suburbs. Project Objectives: ********************* • To make the future increase in traffic demand very flexible, allowing both to extend the light railway lines as connecting with other transport systems (buses, taxis, etc.); • To serve as support for transport by road to the coastal area of Libreville where a high population density exists and to communicate with various destinations, such as the Pointe Denis, where a strong urban and tourism growth is expected. Modern technologies: ************************ MetroLib, the future " Gabonese Smart Transport ", will concentrate modern transport technology such as: - VCL (Automatic Car Light), commonly used to serve the international airports; - 4G / LTE and WiFi Networks available in cars; - LED Screens for the dissemination of information; - Traffic Monitoring System; - CCTV cameras in the trains and stations, etc. Project contributions: *********************** • The implementation of the Automatic Metro in Libreville will improve the traffic flow in the capital and its suburbs. • The project will have an impact on the following domains: 1. Social: allowing all social strata to access public transport safely and cheaply 2. Economic: - allowing active populates and students arriving at conventional hours in the workplace and schools - allowing the creation of more than 5,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs 3. Diplomatic: improving the image of Gabon internationally. For any further information about that initiative, please contact the project Manager at the following address: Armand C.
