[SystemSafety] underground trains without drivers

[Braband, Jens]

Please have a look at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_trains

There are much more applications e. g. for full-scale metros including mixed traffic even without platform screen doors....

According to my knowledge the track record is a clean sheet, no accidents as far as I know.

Note: This represents my personal opinion only, not neccessarily that of my employer.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Betreff: [SystemSafety] underground trains without drivers

Hi there,

what is the current trend on to employ or not to employ drivers on underground trains that would be capable of running automatically, and/or with central control? I guess people usually stick to see a human being in control.

And, is there a track record of accidents of driverless trains?
