2018 – March – Danton – Delhi Metro Line 7

Julian Danton Bombardier Transportation Delhi Metro is a greenfield development of a 58km heavy metro system with 38 stations and 2 depots, forwhich Bombardier Transportation are currently introducing a CITYFLO 650 communications based traincontrol (CBTC) signalling and control system. The line is a mixture of above ground and tunnel areas,leading to design consideration of system functionalities required to be able to handle operations in eitherenvironment.The vehicles on the line are designed to be operated in both UTO (Unattended Train Operation) and nonUTO modes, both above ground and tunnel. The CBTC system functionalities and integration with therolling stock have therefore been designed to be able to operate with or without a driver across the differentline environments.The introduction of UTO requires a CBTC system with a higher degree of automation, including fullyautomatic depot storage and dispatch, automatic jog and creep at platforms and automatic handling ofemergencies between platforms including evacuation. It also requires increased remote visibility and controlthrough the provision of remote access to onboard CCTV at the OCC (Operational Control Centre) andstations to provide the ability to remotely handle onboard issues for a train in UTO.
