The automation control systems for the efficiency of metro transit lines

Abstract

The cities are becoming increasingly larger and more complex. This also determines increased requirements on mass transit systems. In this case, the operators have to cope with rapidly growing traffic flows and passengers' rising expectations. Their success is measured against factors such as safety, punctuality, convenience and energy efficiency. In order to successfully meeting these challenges, it is necessary to consider the Intelligent and future-oriented mass transit solutions. The aim of this work is to compare the performances between two types of subway, traditional ones and the automatic ones considering in one case the Line 1 and Line 5 to Milan.
