THE IMPORTANCE OF SOFTWARE AND SAFETY AUDITS FOR AUTOMATIC METROS

The paper discusses significant changes in technology introduced into public transportation, such as control centers that are able to monitor metros, light rail transit (LRT) or fleets of buses; realtime response that is now standard requirement for all new systems; and safety equipment and software that perform vital functions and reduce the risk of human error. The paper's focus is on early implementation of a comprehensive system along with software audits to ensure system safety compliance.
