PUSH-PROJECT HAMBURG, COMPONENTS OF AUTOMATION, OPERATION
From the very beginning the aim of the PUSH project was to achieve a level of operational automation which would guarantee the safety of the signalling system and the high reliability of the operation of the railway. For this reason an absolute braking distance has to be maintained between trains, and it must be possible to turn off conventional train protection systems, such as the train stop and deadman control. Taking the present-day underground operation as a basis, this report describes how the responsibility for the safety of the system is steadily being transferred from the human being to the automatic system. In addition as account is also given of how the reliability of the PUSH automatic system could be improved.
