Abstract

In November 2005, RATP -Paris Urban Transport Operator -awarded Siemens a contract to upgrade the oldest line of the Paris metro to driverless operation (with no driver onboard).This paper discusses RATP's motivations and focuses on the technical challenges for upgrading the ATC from driver-based to driverless operation.This paper also presents the Communications-Based Train Control solution engineered by Siemens.
