00:00The driverless system provides you so many features. First of all, it does not need human
00:16intervention which provides higher safety than human because human tend to make mistakes
00:20in reality and these systems are completely computerized system that monitors itself all
00:24the time 24 hours a day and second by second so the safety is much higher in driverless
00:30system. Second thing is because again human actually tend to make a little bit delay here
00:35and there it's more punctual to have a driverless system the punctuality between trains is much
00:39better the automatic regulation and the recovery of any delays is much much better in driverless
00:44systems so overall performance is always better in driverless systems. The system of course you
00:50start with the timetable so you want to run in reality eight minutes headway between trains so
00:56that prevails in reality how the train service will work. Based on that you put a timetable
01:01and you program that timetable into the automatic train control system the ATC.
01:07From there the ATC will take care of the complete running of the system make sure that
01:12the time between train is always eight minutes and make sure that trains are stopping at station
01:16on the set and programmed the dual time so all that is completely done by the train
01:23system itself which is here we call it a Celtrac S90 software system here
01:29where it controls the complete operation of the metro.
