Description
Metro train trials in Bhopal and Indore were successful, and citizens in both cities may be able to ride the metro by mid-2024. Following an initial phase with human drivers to develop passenger confidence, these metro trains are designed to operate in driverless mode in the future.
Key Points
The first phase of metro operations will involve human drivers for up to two years to increase passenger confidence in rail operations.
The Bhopal and Indore Metro project has been designed using Grade of Automation (GoA) 4 technology, which enables automatic train operations including door locking, obstacle detection and emergency management.
GoA technology classifies metro train operations into classes including GoA-1, GoA-2, GoA-3 and GoA-4, with GoA-4 representing the highest level of automation.
Madhya Pradesh is one of the first states in India to design its metro project entirely on GoA-4 technology, surpassing the older GoA-2 technology used by some other metro systems.
Delhi Metro is reportedly using GoA-4 operations on some lanes but has had to switch to GoA-2 technology.
The introduction of driverless metro trains in Bhopal and Indore will be an exciting development for passengers and is expected to come after one and a half to two years of human-powered operations.
Significance
Madhya Pradesh's use of GoA-4 technology sets a precedent for future metro projects in other Indian cities.
Driverless metro operations increase safety and energy savings while providing a modern and efficient form of public transportation.
The phased approach to the introduction of driverless operations is aimed at ensuring that passengers feel comfortable with the technology.
