Introduction
Technological developments in automation and autonomy represent one of the most important trends today affecting the operations of all economic sectors, including railways. The automation and autonomous operation of railways aims to result in:
- optimised energy management
- more reliability
- increased capacity
- more competitiveness
- more flexibility, and
- greater sustainability
This webinar shares experience from organisations in different countries in examining the potential use of automated and autonomous systems and operations in railway applications.
The followings case studies will be discussed at the webinar:
- Automatic Train Control and Safety Approach in CBTC Projects
- The Digital Automatic Coupler (DAC) – A game changer for the rail freight sector
- Conversion of İstanbul M1 Metro Line from GoA1 (Grade of Automation) to GoA4.
- The current state of ATO in Japan and the newly developed intermittent type ATP-based ATO system
- Application of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Technologies for Autonomous Trains.
