China News Service, Ningbo, December 28 (Reporter Lin Bo) Early in the morning, the train wakes up automatically, and after self-checking, it automatically leaves the warehouse according to the timetable and runs to the main line to welcome passengers... This is the first phase of Zhejiang Ningbo Metro Line 5 Fully automatic scene of engineering train operation.
At 10:00 on December 28, the first phase of Ningbo Metro Line 5, the first fully automated subway line in Zhejiang Province, opened for operation.
Since that day, Ningbo Rail Transit has an operating mileage of 183 kilometers, entering a new era of 5-line parallel networked and digitalized operations.
"The scenery at the front of the car is very different." Standing at the front of the car, the winding train track can be seen clearly under the light of the car lights. Ningbo citizen Wang Xin took out his mobile phone and took this scene. "It's amazing, the old subway There is a cab, except for the driver, passengers cannot see such a complete train track."

The reporter found that, unlike previous trains, the front and rear of the train running in the first phase of the Ningbo Metro Line 5 project are not blocked, and passengers can “transparently” understand the trajectory of the train in front of the window.
In addition, the "smart window" is the unique "smart gene" of the first phase of Ningbo Metro Line 5.
It uses the most cutting-edge transparent OLED high-definition display technology. During the ride, citizens can learn about rail transit line information, train operation information, station structure information, and surrounding life service information through interactive touch screens.
According to Wang Xiangyang, deputy chief engineer of Ningbo Rail Transit Operation Branch and executive deputy manager of the fully automatic project department, the automation of trains is not only reflected in this normal scenario, but also in some failure scenarios. It is also possible to get sick. After occasional failure, the fully automatic system will control the train to run to the front station at low speed through remote dispatching, and the train conductor will take over the train and return to the manual driving state."

It is reported that through 5 core systems such as signal, vehicle, integrated monitoring, communication, and platform door, remote commands can automatically link trains, stations and control centers, covering more than 100 fully automatic operation scenarios.
The system also has emergency functions such as platform door/vehicle door alignment isolation, remote reset of vehicle faults, emergency intercom for passengers, platform door and vehicle door gap detection and alarm, and interval water level monitoring and alarm.

Looking at the current situation, fully automatic rail transit is not uncommon across the country. Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanning and other places have opened fully automatic subway operations, while Shenzhen and other places are building fully automatic subways.
Wang Xiangyang said that fully automatic operation represents the development direction of smart metro. “After the first phase of Ningbo Metro Line 5 is put into operation, the upcoming projects of Line 6, 7, and 8 will also open a new mode of fully automated operation.”
It is understood that the first phase of Ningbo Metro Line 5 has a total length of 27.9 kilometers and a total of 22 stations, all of which are underground.
There are 5 transfer stations with existing lines, and transfer interfaces with the future lines 6, 7, and 8 and the city (suburban) line.
