DEMONSTRATION FACILITY BERLIN, ADOPTION OF THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM "SELTRAC" IN VIEW OF OPERATIONAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS FOR THE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT "UNDERGROUND TRAIN NO. 4"

The SELTRAC train control system had to be modified and extended in order to integrate it into the existing transit system, especially as far as the gradual implementation of operational service and the handling of disturbances were concerned. The operational equipment for the control system was installed in the signal box and put into service. Scheduled operation with passengers started in October 1981. The remaining software functions for handling disturbances and failures will be installed by the end of June. The safety analysis for the control system will be completed by the end of September 1982.
