China's first fully-automatic subway, Yanfang Line linking Hebei's Yanjiao and Fangshandistrict in Beijing, will go on trial in December and is expected to be put into operation bythe end of 2017.
Advantages
In the fully-automatic subway system, trains will automatically run and stop, open andshut doors, and return back to its terminal station without any drivers or stewardmembers, said Wang Daomin, head of the Beijing MTR Construction AdministrationCorporation, which is in charge of the city's subway development.
Thus, trains will run accurately based on the timetable without any delays. Even whenthere is a problem, the system can repair itself automatically. The equipment fault periodwill also be prolonged to 4,500 hours, compared to 3,000 hours for the common trains.
