List Of Driverless Train Systems
This is a list of automatic train operation, driverless train systems, which are capable of GoA3 and GoA4 (GoA3+) according to the Grade of Automation classifications specified by the standard IEC 62290‐1. These are explained diagrammatically by the UITP. This list focuses heavily on trains in the classical sense used for large-scale railways for passengers and freight but does include a few people mover systems. For a similar list for GoA2, see list of automated train systems, list of semi-automatic train systems. Grade-of-Automation 3 systems These systems are capable of driverless train operation (DTO), although some operators may choose to staff trains anyway. GoA3 – Americas GoA3 – Asia GoA3 – Europe Grade-of-Automation 4 systems These systems are capable of unattended train operation (UTO), although some operators may choose to staff trains anyway. GoA4 – Americas GoA4 – Asia GoA4 – Europe GoA4 – Oceania Future systems Americas As ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Automatic Train Operation
Automatic train operation (ATO) is a method of operating trains automatically where the driver is not required or is required for supervision at most. Alternatively, ATO can be defined as a subsystem within the automatic train control, which performs any or all of functions like programmed stopping, speed adjusting, door operation, and similar otherwise assigned to the train operator. The degree of automation is indicated by the Grade of Automation (GoA), up to GoA4 in which the train is automatically controlled without any staff on board. On most systems for lower grades of automation up to GoA2, there is a driver present to mitigate risks associated with failures or emergencies. Driverless automation is primarily used on automated guideway transit systems where it is easier to ensure the safety due to isolated tracks. Fully automated trains for mainline railways are an area of research. The first driverless experiments in the history of train automation date back to 1920 ...

Line 4 (Budapest Metro)
Line 4 (officially: South Buda–Rákospalota (DBR) Line, Metro 4 or M4, and unofficially: Green Line) is the fourth line of the Budapest Metro. It opened on 28 March 2014. The first section, in length and consisting of ten stations, connects the southwestern Budapest Kelenföld railway station, Kelenföld vasútállomás located in Buda, and the eastern Budapest Keleti pályaudvar, Keleti pályaudvar in Pest, Hungary, Pest, under the River Danube. While three additional sections — the first, an eastern extension to Bosnyák tér, the second west to Virágpiac, and a third further east to Újpalota — have been planned, these remain unfunded by the Budapest city government and the European Union. Before Line 4 was built, only Line 2 (Budapest Metro), Line 2 served the Buda side of the river. Daily ridership has been estimated at 185,000-195,000 The line operates using fully automated Alstom Metropolis train sets, which are also used on Line 2, although on line 2 the trains ar ...

Budapest Metro
The Budapest Metro (, ) is the rapid transit system in the Hungary, Hungarian capital Budapest. Opened in 1896, it is the world's second oldest electrified underground railway after the City and South London Railway of 1890, now part of the London Underground, and the third oldest underground railway with multiple stations, after the originally steam-powered Metropolitan Railway, now part of the London Underground (1863), and the Mersey Railway, now part of Merseyrail, Merseyrail in Liverpool (1886). Budapest's first line, Line 1 (Budapest Metro), Line 1, was completed in 1896. The M1 line became an IEEE Milestone due to the radically new innovations in its era: "Among the railway's innovative elements were bidirectional tram cars; electric lighting in the subway stations and tram cars; and an overhead wire structure instead of a third-rail system for power." In 2002, the M1 line was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. History To clarify where the first "metro" in co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sentosa Express
The Sentosa Express is a monorail line connecting Sentosa island to HarbourFront on the Singapore mainland. It was built at a cost of S$140 million to replace the previous Sentosa Monorail. Development began in June 2003 and construction works were completed in late 2006. The fully elevated 2.1-kilometre (1.3-mile; per direction) two-way line (4.3-km total track length) opened on 15 January 2007. The monorail system, privately owned by Sentosa Development Corporation and operated by Singapore Mass Rapid Transit, can move up to 4,000 passengers per hour per direction.

Lahore Metro
Lahore Metro is an automated rapid transit system in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan and the first driverless metro in Pakistan. Four metro lines have been proposed, of which the Orange Line is operational. It is also Pakistan's first metro line system. History The Lahore Metro was first proposed in 1991 and reviewed in 1993 by the ''Lahore Traffic & Transport Studies'', funded by the World Bank. The project was subsequently shelved. In 2005, the Ministry of Transport revisited the project and carried out a feasibility study. In 2007, the Asian Development Bank provided to conduct a study on the project. The initial plan called for an 82-kilometre (51 mi) rail network with 60 stations to be constructed in four separate phases. The first phase involved the construction of a 27-kilometre (17 mi) rail line between Gajju Matta and Shahdara Bagh, with an 11.6-kilometre (7.2 mi) section underground. Construction was expected to start in 2008 and be completed by 2010. However, in 2008, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Disney Resort Line
The , officially known as , is an automated monorail line in Japan that connects Maihama Station to the Tokyo Disney Resort. It is operated by the , a subsidiary of The Oriental Land Company, which owns and operates the resort. Passenger service on the line began on July 27, 2001, just two months before Tokyo DisneySea's grand opening. When Tokyo Disneyland first opened in 1983, it was within a comfortable walking distance of Maihama Station. However, the addition of Tokyo DisneySea in 2001 significantly expanded the resort, making it too large to navigate on foot. The monorail provided a convenient transportation solution while also opening up more land for development, including additional resort hotels. Despite being entirely located on private property owned by The Oriental Land Company, the line is legally classified as a railway, similar to rapid transit or commuter rail systems. As a result, season tickets are available, and passengers can use Pasmo and Suica fare car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
