RUBI N The Driverless Metro System in Nuremberg Safety aspects and Technical Solution 1
Metro Operations Structure Planning operation Managing Operation Passenger Information handling - Automated route setting - Headway regulation Train/staff arrangement Operate and Display supervising - Automated Train Tracking - supervising passengers, trains Executing train operation Safety of routes Driving Trains Supervising guideway Emergency procedure Train dispatching - Points - Driving and Braking- Platform safety - Train status - Signals - Obstacle Control - Emergency calls - supervising - Train detectioncontinuously - Intrusion Control - Evacuation 2
Safety Relevant Tasks of Drivers Approaching the station Irregularity Technical function Person in station track area - Platform track supervision - CCTV for station track - CCTV playback function - Remote emergency stop - Platform emergency stop - Platform emergency call Person in tunnel - Intrusion detection - Platform boundary door supervision 3
Safety Relevant Tasks of Drivers, contd. Watching passengers, while boarding and alighting Irregularity Technical function Passenger steps into gap between train / platform Folding ramp Passenger caught in door when closing - Automatic door reversing - Sensitive door rubber edge - Door closing signal Passenger falling into coupler area - Coupler area supervision 4
Safety Relevant Tasks of Drivers, contd. When driving on the line Irregularity Technical function Obstacle on track Obstacle detector Train derails Derailment detector Fire on train Fire detection system 5
Safety Relevant Tasks of Drivers, contd. Emergency or train stalled in tunnel Irregularity Technical function Emergency situation in in passenger compartment - Emergency stop handle on train - Emergency call link with Operation Control Centre - Video surveillance Passengers to be evacuated - Door emergency unlocking - Short circuit 3. rail 6
Safety Relevant Tasks of Drivers, contd. In case of any problem with the train Inform the personnel in the OCC and take measures locally, e.g. operate resets or initiate procedures - Diagnosis of train borne equipment - Transmission of data to the OCC - Remote control access from OCC 7
Station equipment Emergency lighting Portable radio communication Announcement Passenger information Fire detection CCTV platform Fire extinguisher 3. rail short circuit CCTV Station track Emergency stop plunger CCTV playback Emergency call Fire hose Platform Safety System: - Station track supervision - Intrusion detection - Coupler area supervision - Platform boundary door supervision Equipment for conventional operation Personnel on line Equipment for automated operation 8

Incident in Station Track Area OP HB OP HB 1. 2. 3. WW Emergency stop in station track Approaching trains: operational or emergency braking, depending on residual distance. Trains already leaving are not stopped Trains in preceding station are held back 15
Intrusion into Tunnel Detected OP HB 1. 2. 3. Emergency braking for approaching trains Trains heading towards the location of the incident are held back in stations Trains running away from the location of incident are not stopped 16
Safety Reactions of the Train Emergency braking Immediate braking to standstill Reaction upon - Obstacle detector - Derailment detector Starting blockage Proceed to next station. Stop at station until manual reset of alarm Reaction upon - Fire alarm - Passenger emergency stop - Passenger emergency call - Emergency door opening request 17
