    Brief

    This contract opportunity involves delivering a Platform Train Interface (PTI) safety technology trial on London Underground's Piccadilly Line. The scope includes laboratory testing to validate the technology's performance and safety specifications, followed by a shadow trial at a designated station to demonstrate real-world operational effectiveness. The PTI system is designed to enhance platform and train safety by improving communication and coordination between train operations and platform infrastructure. This is a limited-scope technical evaluation project suitable for technology suppliers with expertise in railway safety systems and interface design. Successful delivery will provide Transport for London with evidence of the technology's viability for potential wider implementation.
