| Summary: | The aim of the article is to highlight and analyze the existing and promising automatic train operation systems for underground, with an emphasis on their economic performance. The development of the theory and methodology for improving the country’s transport industry has outlined a list of tasks to study and solve, in particular, improving the quality of servicing passengers, ensuring their safety and comfort, observing on-time train performance, saving capital costs for repairs of the rolling stock and track facilities due to increasing their wear life, saving energy, which, for underground, is mainly achieved by optimizing the movement of trains on the running lines (segments of track between two stations). In the Ukrainian underground, there is a long overdue need to replace the existing train management systems with automatic train operation systems, the main advantage of which is combining all of the listed functions: ensuring safety, observing on-time train performance, saving electricity, extending the service life of the rolling stock (sets of wheels) and track facilities. |
