First of all, it should be noted that robotization or automation differs in the level of autonomy from humans. Such degrees of automation are distinguished: GoA2, GoA3, GoA4. The highest degree of automation is provided by level GoA4, where personnel are not required for safe operation. Train movement, door opening, response to emergency situations – all of these are done by the automated control system.
