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. That’s exactly what we’ll talk about today, the Top 10 Robotized Metro Systems in Europe.
1France
Surprisingly, France has the largest number of automated transport lines in Europe – 7. These include metros in Paris, Lyon, Lille, Rennes, Toulouse, as well as shuttles at Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.
2Italy
In Italy, automated lines are represented by metros in Rome, Brescia, Milan, Turin, as well as shuttles at Galileo Galilei and Rome airports. In Venice, there is an automated shuttle to the Tronchetto island.
3Germany
In Germany, there are automated train lines in Dusseldorf, Dortmund, and Nuremberg, as well as automated shuttles at Dusseldorf, Munich, and Frankfurt airports.
4United Kingdom
In the UK, automated lines are only present at Birmingham, Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted airports.
5Spain
In Barcelona, Spain, there is an automated metro line, as well as a train at Madrid Airport.
6Switzerland
An automated transport line operates in Lausanne, as well as at Zurich Airport.
7Denmark
The metro in Copenhagen is equipped with trains that operate in automated mode.
8Hungary
The Budapest Metro, specifically line 4, operates automated trains.
9Russia
An automated passenger transportation system operates at Alexander Pushkin Airport.
