INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATIC DRIVING SYSTEM ON LINE VII OF THE MADRID METRO

IMPLANTACION DEL SISTEMA DE CONDUCCION AUTOMATICA EN LA LINEA VII DEL METRO DE MADRID

This article describes progress step by step, from the definition of the project to the final decision on the system. A general description is given of the processes of installation and operating tests carried out before putting into commercial service the ATP sub-system (April 1977) and ATO (July 1980). An analysis of the results of repairs completed and failures observed since the system was put into service shows that it is proving to be very satisfactory.
