L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail Ltd has successfully test run a train in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) mode here for the first time on Indian soil.
The metro is the first Indian project to implement communication-based train control system. In this mode, the train operates independently and controls its movement, speed, performance etc. “The function of the driver is only to press a button to close the doors at stations and it is a prelude to completely driverless mode which Hyderabad Metro can upgrade any time it wants,” NVS Reddy, MD, Hyderabad Metrol Rail Ltd, said.
Simon Lee, a Hong Kong-based veteran in this technology is supervising the signalling system along with engineers of L&TMRHL and French company Thales (tech provider), which took part in the test run.
