Two new ATO research projects launched in Germany

source: Siemens Mobility

The German Centre for Rail Traffic Research starts two new Automatic Train Operation (ATO) projects this year. The performance of a train driver will be compared with ATO, and the risk acceptance will be examined. The aim is to define the criteria needed for approving fully automated regional and mainline rail service. The two projects will be funded with 1.7 million euros and are scheduled to run for 30 months until May 2023.
