Driverless (CBTC) Communications-based train control
KOLKATA: All the up and coming Metro lines, including the East-West passage for which a portion of the rakes have arrived, will have driverless trains.
Famously known as "driverless innovation", the correspondence based prepare control (CBTC) framework prepares Metro trains to keep running without human mediation. East-West Metro will, be that as it may, have drivers for the time being to impart trust in travelers. Alternate passageways are likewise prone to have drivers, at any rate in the underlying years. As needs be, it has likewise been chosen that all the new stations will have stage screen entryways, which will be coordinated with the programmed CBTC programming, a redesigned flagging framework that utilizations media transmission and is more exact than other railroad innovation utilized up until this point. The tasks will be checked from an incorporated control focus.
the development of first submerged rail burrow is finished and its most astonishing piece is that it occurred in front of the timetable. The due date was July 2017.

This is just fantastic. Such a bold engineering solution. There will probably be a lot of problems to overcome. I think that the most dangerous is an earthquake. This is a very strong natural phenomenon

Here in Singapore driverless train was introduced a long back so India is behind in the race but still happy to know that they are in the race now. Recently Delhi metro also started trial for driverless metro in one of the line. Hope India will be able to maintain themselves in this race. Thanks for the post sir @sbanerjee0017
