Metro Northwind line, the Sydney city`s $8.3 billion Australian dollar, will be opened to traffic on May 26, one of the world`s most advanced trade, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The train, built by (Alstom), the French Alston transport group, has been tested for more than 245000 kilometers and will be tested nearly 500000 kilometers by the time the Sydney northwest city rail line opens on the 26th.
There are 13 stations on the 36-kilometer Sydney northwest city rail line from Tarawan (Tallawong) to (Chatswood). During the rush hour, these driverless train shift every 4 minutes.
The operation control center (Operational Control Centre) is the core of the whole city railway system, located next to the train station in Tarawan, northwest Sydney, to monitor the operation of train, as well as a special backup generator battery room. Ensure that the control center continues to operate in the event of a power outage.
Rutton (Cory Roeton), senior manager of network control at Metro Trains, a Sydney railway company, said that train is one of the most advanced train in the world and runs strictly according to the test schedule every day, starting around 04:30 in the morning. It ends around 1: 00 in the morning.
"the whole railway starts on its own," Rutton told the Daily Telegraph. After train wake up, self-test, test air conditioning, test lighting, test train mechanism. Once all the tests have passed, train will send a "we can go" signal to the central computer within 15 minutes, and then the train will proceed according to the usual schedule. "
"when train is awakened, they have a gradual time until the second time, train leaves the garage and appears on the railway trunk line to pick up the first customer," he said. Then from there, according to the timetable, there is a train every 10 minutes. Then we shorten the interval to drive every four or five minutes. "
The train timetable is unbelievably precise and can be accurate to seconds, Rutton said.
"on train in Sydney, the notice may say that train will leave at 12:23 at noon," he said. "in order to maintain and run our timetable, the train will arrive at more than 0.02 seconds at 12:23 in order to maintain and run our schedule," he said. Due to automation, you can stop train in a few seconds and send it to another road. Sydney train has five minutes to complete. "(Zheng Peiyan)
