Safety assessment of Copenhagen driverless automatic mass transit system

摘要

In 2000, the automatic driverless Metro will commence operation in Copenhagen. The German BOStrab (Regulation for the Construction and Operation of Tramways) was chosen as a basis for the safety approval/assessment of the Metro in conjunction with the European standards for Railway Applications. For the system, a Safety Case has to be assessed. TUEV Rheinland has been assigned the role of the Safety Assessor. Using the PASC approach developed by TUEV Rheinland, safety is a fixed part of the system development from the beginning. An effective course of the project and in-time start of operation can be expected as benefits.
