Project Description
Automatic Train Operation (ATO), and automatic driving in general, are popular discussion topics. Technological opportunities abound and many safe ATO implementations already exist. However, safe implementation of ATO isn’t possible everywhere on every system. Your task is to evaluate the safety of ATO in general: Which hazards are introduced by removing the train driver? Do level crossings become more dangerous? How to respond in case extreme weather is forecast? Do we really need fences or platform screen doors to prevent people and animals from wandering onto the railway tracks? Is the current set of rules and regulations still applicable, or do they need to be reconsidered? How would ATO affect European and Dutch railway laws?
