9. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 9 Driverless metro: Benefits Passengers • Higher speed, shorter journey time • Shorter waiting time • Improved safety and security • Better comfort in demand surge • More customer-oriented staff • Better “network effect” Operators and funding authorities • Flexible operation management • Reliability, shorter down time • Operating safety • Job profile change • Capital expenditure • Operation expenditure

14. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 14 Driverless Metro – Design Considerations Driverless metro differ from conventional metro • Operational Modes • Degraded modes management This leads to design constraints on • Rolling Stock • Communication systems • Signalling Driverless metros require purpose-built E&M systems
15. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 15 Driverless Metro – Design Considerations Critical safety principles: • Prevent prolonged stop in tunnel • Maintain passenger’s confidence • Redundant data communication paths Driverless metros have their own safety principles
16. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 16 Driverless Metro – Design Considerations Redundant components required: • On-board data processing systems • Public address system • Traction/braking equipment and command-control circuits • Train batteries • Air conditioning • Lighting system • Train-to-wayside communications Availability is a key success factor
17. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 17 Driverless Metro – Design Considerations • Real-time communication of train status to Operation Control Centre and Maintenance Support System • Trains with failed equipment can be withdrawn from operations before the redundant component fails Train status monitoring is key to ensure system availability
18. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 18 • Passenger Information Systems: broadcast text messages • Public Address: broadcast voice message • Passenger Emergency Communication: for passengers to communicate with the Operation Control Centre • CCTV: for OCC to monitor the situation onboard and on platform Driverless Metro – Design Considerations Train-to-wayside communication is critical to maintaining passenger safety
19. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 19 Rare events are to immobilise a trains in tunnel: • Prolonged loss of primary power supply • Catastrophic damage to rolling stock, rail, or signalling Driverless Metro – Design Considerations Evacuation Detrainment door is the safety device of last resort
20. Urban Mass Transit Forum - Shanghai 2009 - 12/06/09 - P 20 Driverless Metro – Design Considerations More E&M components required: • Platform Screen Doors • Platform and trainborne CCTV • Remote wake-up and standby of trains • Redundant communication paths More complex components More interfaces Proper interface management critical to success
