Abstract

In order to boost capacity and performance of their urban rail networks, as rapid population growth is projected in Australia's four biggest cities, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, operators are looking to advanced train control as the solution. This article takes a look at what each of these cities are doing in order to combat traffic congestion by improving their rail transit networks.
