Abstract

In 2004, RATP officially launched the process of automation of the Line 1, its oldest metro line and the most crowded with an average of 750,000 passengers a day. Seven years later, on 3rd November 2011, the first driverless trains are carrying passengers along with manually driven trains during revenue service. This period of mixed train traffic will continue up to the beginning of year 2013, when the whole Line 1 will be a fully driverless metro line. As evidence, six months after the first driverless train, more than half of the rolling stock fleet daily operated is made of new driverless trains.
