Europe

  • Paris Métro Line 2 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 3 OCTYS system provides ATP and high level ATO with mobile block system - Siemens CBTC
  • Paris Métro Line 4 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 5 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections. (OCTYS system planned for 2013)
  • Paris Métro Line 6 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 7 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 8 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.

  • Paris Métro Line 11 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 12 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • Paris Métro Line 13 Low level ATO systems managing speed of the trains in the tunnel sections.
  • RER line A - Utilizes the SACEM system which remains today one of the world's most advanced traffic control systems and enables extremely short spacing (under 90 seconds in stations, under 2 minutes in tunnels) between trains during rush hour.
  • London's Victoria Line opened 1967 (a member of staff opens & closes the train doors and presses twin start buttons, but does not normally drive the trains).
  • London's Central Line converted to automated operation in the mid-1990s (a member of staff opens & closes the train doors monitors the train and fixes faults on board. Drivers drive the trains on Sundays and Bank holidays. All shunt moves are made by the drivers and whenever the train stops for fail safe reasons such as excess wheel spin or sliding the driver takes over; at other times trains are computer driven).
  • London's Jubilee Line converted to automated operation in 2011 (a member of staff opens & closes the train doors).
  • London's Northern Line is due to be converted in 2012.
  • Glasgow Subway uses driverless trains on its line. The driver checks the way is clear and operates the doors.
  • Munich U-Bahn (driver operates the doors and handles emergency situations, accelerating and braking is fully automated; a fully driverless turning at terminus stations is planned)
  • Vienna U-Bahn (uses the same system as Munich)
  • Budapest Line 3 - converted to automated operation in 1990 (a member of staff opens & closes the train doors)
  • Barcelona Metro line 1
  • Barcelona Metro line 2
  • Barcelona Metro line 3

Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “Positively I sit here, and look at Europe sink, first one deck disappearing, then another, and the whole ship slowly plunging bow-down into the abyss; until the nightmare gets to be howling. The Roman Empire was a trifle to it.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “In Europe life is histrionic and dramatized, and ... in America, except when it is trying to be European, it is direct and sincere.”
    —William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    “I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
