Conventional Semi-Automatic Train
Operation (STO): driver, onboard ATP and ATO,
with semi-automatic driving, limited actions
required by driver (open/close doors, failure
management)
Driverless Train Operation (DTO – GOA3):
Fully automatic, attendant provides customer
care and failure management (i.e. London
Docklands)
Unattended Train Operation (UTO – GOA4):
Fully automatic, no onboard staff at all, optional
roving attendants (i.e. Copenhagen,

7. Main advantages of Driverless Unattended Metro vs Conventional
Lower O&M expenditure due to a significant decreasing of the staff, as drivers and on
board personnel are not required
There are additional savings in operating costs, since the system is operated in compliance
to an optimum fully automated specification reduction of energy consumption, components
wearing, spare parts, etc…
Trains can be shorter (no cabs) and run more frequently without increase expenditure for
staff
The metro Operators are able to often and easily vary the service frequency to meet
sudden and unexpected transport demands, without increasing the staff costs
High level of performance, availability and reliability. Headway down to 75s. The
attractiveness of public transport is increased
High quality of service with high frequencies, even when the tickets incomes don’t justify
the operation, without increasing the staff costs
Driverless metros are safer than conventional (most rail accidents are caused by human
errors)
Large benefits in terms of safety and comfort thanks to the Platform Screen Doors
Train turnover time at terminals is extremely short as trains go into the holding track and
returns immediately reducing the fleet size needed for operation and consequent savings
in terms of investment and maintenance costs
8. Train wake-up referring to the operation schedule (the wake up time is chosen
depending from the environmental conditions considering a period of time for warming up
the trains)
Train move in the line and passenger service start
Train stops management (number of stops, duration, opening/closing doors, etc…)
based on operation schedule
Operation auto-adjustment to the schedule in case of delays (extended stops due to
external events, small failures, etc…)
Passenger information according to operation schedule
Hazard management: fire, snow, ice, primary power supply black-out, request from
passenger for train stop or door opening the system recognize the event and adapt
itself, referring on predefined scenarios, converging to the best configuration for the whole
circulation
Trains move out from the line at the end of the service
Automatic train washing (external)
Automatic train parking in the stabling area
Main Unattented Functions:
Management of the entire Mission
9. Failure management from the Control Room (trains/platform doors releasing, etc…)
Automatic rescue through coupling train recovery
In case of failure, the train could continue to be operated in a degraded mode by
decreasing its performance profile (i.e. the system notify that a bogie is not braking properly:
the primary braking system of that bogie will be disabled, while the emergency one will be
kept in service, then the operation profile is adjusted referring to the current train breaking
capability) safety guaranteed
Route reconfiguration in case of a failure that could cause the temporary unavailability of
a certain section of the line
In general, the failure management objectives are:
Keep the train in service (assuring safety condition) for the whole mission, also by
operating in a degraded mode
In case of a major failure that compromise the train operation in safety condition,
take the train to the next station
Main Unattented Functions:
Failure Management
10. Driverless Unattented Metro main features
The Driverless Unattended Metro assures high performances, from technical to transportation point of view. It
allows a flexible Operation around the clock 7 days a week, ensuring a large range of transport capacity
according with different headway and train length.
The AnsaldoSTS driverless unattended metro solutions around the world (Copenhagen M1/M2 operated by
AnsaldoSTS since 2002, Milan line 5, Brescia, Rome line C, Thessaloniki, Taipei, Riyadh, PNU, Piyadh
Line 3, Copenhagen Cityringen M3/M4, Honolulu, Milan line 4, Lima, etc…) provide effective answers to all
customer need:
• Transport Capacity from few thousands pphpd of light system operationg short trains, up to 60.000 pphpd and
more of heavy systems operating long trains
• Flexible Operational Headway up to 75 sec (design headway up to 60 sec)
• Max Speed up to 100 km/h
• Train width up to 3 m
• Train length over 100 m
