BART CONTROLS "DRY RUN" TESTED

BART is the world's first completely automated rail transit system in the world. This concept of automated train control combines all functions required to operate trains without human intervention: regulation of individual train movement from starting to stopping; determination of the routes the trains will take; and control of scheduling to keep trains spaced for optimum station services.
