It is currently in the engineering phase. Line 6 will be between Bokharaei in the southeast and Sadeghieh in the north-west. The future potential lines will be Lines 6, 7, 8 and 9. The government has spent around $80m in the second and third quarter of 2010 for further development of the metro system. The other telecommunications system included an optical and radio system, closed circuit television, a public message system and a central clock system. It includes a speedometer, a receiving antenna, a processing unit and data separation as part of a signalling and alarming system. The on-board ATP System is installed in the train control cabin. The wayside system is used to determine the train position, distance and slope on the line, to control and direct trains on safety path. In addition it uses supervisory control & data acquisition system (SCADA) to provide continuous energy and distribution of power on a priority basis. “A new subway station is also being constructed at Sadeqieh.” The metro system uses a centralised traffic control system to control and manage the train traffic on all the lines. The Iranian Government plans to purchase 60 carriages and 28 locomotives to accommodate the increasing number of passengers. Each of the metro trains has seven carriages with a passenger capacity of 1,290. The trains have a top speed of 80km/h but are operated at 37km/h. The entire metro runs on a standard gauge of 1,435mm. A deal has been signed with the Chinese Government to provide finance of up to €250m for the new station project. A special power station at Bonyad-e-Rang transforms 230kV AC power into two 27.5kV AC for the trains on Line 5.Ī new subway station is also being constructed at Sadeqieh. The system operates on third rail 750v DC power. Apart from the regular repairs and maintenance works, they are also used for parking and washing cars. There are four maintenance terminals, the West Terminal, South Terminal, Tehran-Maehrshahr Terminal and East Terminal. Axial fans are used to lower the air temperature in the underground stations.Īll the stations are constructed at an average distance of 1,100m from each other. Natural lighting is provided in the tunnels through air ducts. The tunnels have air-conditioning for 14 and 18 stations on Metro Lines 1 and 2 respectively. Most of the metro is constructed underground to save above ground space for pedestrians and road transport. Line 5 (Green Line) is a 41.5km long route starting from Sadeghieh at Tehran terminus and ending at Karaj Mahdasht Golshahr. Shahid Kolahdouz station is the latest to be added on this line in 2010. It was further extended to Shohada Square and Engelab Square in 2009. The first 2.5km section from Darvazeh Shemiran to Ferdowsi Square opened in March 2007. Line 4 (Yellow Line) is 20km long with 21 underground and one elevated stations. The EPC contract is being executed by Lahmeyer International and its Iranian partner Moshanir for the first section. It is being constructed in five phases and is scheduled for completion by 2014. It will pass through Chahardangeh, Rah-Ahan, Monirieh, Vali-e Asr squares, Shahid Beheshti Stree, Resalat, Majidieh streets and Imam Ali-Shahid Zeinuddin Intersection.Ĭonstruction on Line 3 commenced in mid 2007 and is still under way. It will have 23 underground and eight at-grade stations. Line 3 will be a 36km long route starting from south-west in Islamshahr to Lashgarak in the north-east.

Farhangsara is the new station opened in 2010. It intersects with Line 1 at Imam-Khomeini-Square.

Line 2 is a 20km long route with 19 stations between Sadeghieh in the west and Farhangsara in the east.
