Helping train operators realize driverless operation

Compared to ATC, which only controls braking, ATO controls all phases of train operation --- from acceleration to precise stopping. Currently, ATO is installed mostly in monorails and linear metro. Combined with the Platform Gates, ATO helps the train operators to realize driverless operation.

  • *Note: In some countries, 'ATO' here is also called 'ATC (Automatic Train Control)'.
