New equipment at the station to fight fraud and prepare for the arrival of Smart Navigo

The operation is 100% financed by Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF) (except for the design part) as part of its contract with SNCF Transilien.

The first station to be equipped could be the emblematic Saint Lazare station, subject to ongoing studies. With 1600 trains and 450,000 passengers per day, Saint Lazare remains, in fact, the last major Parisian station with completely free access (Transilien tracks and TER/Intercités tracks would be equipped).

"The request I made to SNCF Transilien on September 20 to equip the Saint-Lazare station with control gates is now becoming a reality. Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF) will fully finance this equipment, which is particularly useful in the fight against fraud and will be equipped with the technologies necessary for the deployment of Smart Navigo. Trains, buses, and now stations, the Transport Revolution continues at every stage of the journeys of Ile-de-France residents," announced Valérie Pécresse, President of Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF) and the Île-de-France Region.

This order, which is part of the policy of Île-de-France Mobilités (formerly STIF), the Transport Organising Authority in the Ile de France region, in terms of the fight against fraud, should make it possible to halve the number of Transilien customers who do not pass through a control gate during their daily journeys.

It is also a question of preparing future innovative services in the field of ticketing, which are the subject of the Smart Navigo programme (use of smartphones, Navigo Liberté+, etc.) and which will simplify the daily lives of regular and occasional travellers.

Equipment adapted to the flow of passengers in the Ile-de-France region

SNCF Transilien is working with Conduent to develop innovative, reliable and high-capacity equipment. It will make it possible to manage large flows specific to the Ile de France region in complete safety. The choice of pivoting doors (and no longer "erasable") and a new detection technology represent a technological leap. It will offer a higher speed than the current model, and will adapt its operation by distinguishing between the type of traveller: adult, child and passenger with luggage.

Cases of fraud will be counted, can be monitored in real time and be the subject of a light (and/or audible) alert.

Accessibility for people with reduced mobility is taken into account, as the SNCF accessibility commission, made up of representatives of the associations, was involved in the call for tenders.
