A railway operations study of CBTC systems

摘要

The demand for transport in metropolitan areas is increasing. At the same time, operators are also placing high demands on both capacity and the quality of operations. Communications-Based Train Control systems (CBTC) offer the possibility of coming a big step closer to achieving these goals. At the same time, the foundations are also being laid for a higher grade of train automation in the future. A railway operations study has shown the positive influence high-performance automatic train control systems can have on public transport with a high capacity and level of service.
