In the ATO mode, the trains will work under the supervision and control of ATP functions, in which automatic braking is ensured to prevent any kind of collision for the safety of passengers, a release said. This is the most advanced system of automation provided in metro trains, along with the state-of-the-art communication-based train control (CBTC), the release said. Earlier in January 2019, the LMRC had successfully commenced the signalling and integrated testing trials, by moving the metro train up to Munshipulia area.
