Forecast 2017 - 2025
Automation in metro and rail systems refer to the procedure by means of which the
responsibility for operation management of the trains is transferred to the train
control system from the driver, thereby eliminating or in some cases, reducing any
human interference in the operations. Rail has a potential opportunity of becoming
the most efficient means of transportation in the coming years, as the demand for
automated train operations have been found to increase globally. Renowned players
operating in this industry, for instance Siemens AG has been working on automated
train operations for several years and has also made significant progress in this
area. The company delivered one of the first computer-controlled metro trains in
2008 to the city of Nuremberg.

Totally driverless overground and underground trains are becoming the mandate in
several cities around the world, including many in Europe. Though the world seems
to be hesitant in going fully driverless on mainline rail networks, with the
development of Docklands Light Railway, the U.K. rail network might start looking in
fully automating the operation of the rail network. Further, in June 2016, the CEO of
German railways, Ruediger Grube announced that the German Railways (Deutsche
Bahn) would operate with full autonomy on parts of the railway network by 2021,
2022 or 2023. He further said that tests for the same are underway on a part of the
railway network in Eastern Germany. Other than Europe, several other cities across
the globe are also working towards partially or fully automating their metro and
mainline networks. For instance, in December 2016, Yatish Kumar, Director,
Research Design and Standards Organisations of Indian Railways announced that
driverless metro trains might soon be a reality in Kolkata and the target is to make
all the new metro rakes in the city operate under Grade of Automation 3 from March
2018. Thus global adoption of autonomous train operations is expected to strong
boost the market growth during the forecast period from 2017 – 2025.
The global autonomous trains market has been segmented on the basis of grade of
automation into Grade of Automation 1 (GoA 1), Grade of Automation 2 (GoA 2),
Grade of Automation 3 (GoA 3) and Grade of Automation 4 (GoA 4). These various
grades of automation refer to the different levels of automated operations of the
train. For instance, GoA 1 refers to the manual operation of the train, where in the
driver is in charge of controlling the start and stop of the train, handling critical
