The ATO System includes automatic braking, motoring, coasting, and stopping of the train within the specified speed profile. “When opted for ATO mode, the train accelerates, decelerates, controls and arranges motoring activities automatically. It ensures accurate stopping at the platforms and automatic opening of correct side train doors and Platform Screen Doors (PSD). The responsibility of closing of train doors, PSD and starting of the train rests on the Motorman,” a Metro official said.
