Rio de Janeiro tests autopilot system of metro Line 4

The technical team of MetrôRio, which operates the metro lines in Rio de Janeiro city, has been testing the auto pilot system of Line 4, which started to operate at the second half of last year. The system, also adopted in line 1, reduces the energy consumption and improves the train performance, as its operation becomes more predictable and regular.

For starting to operate completely, the system will go through operational tests, performed by the technical team of MetrôRio, together with performance tests, carried out by Siemens, the company responsible for the installing of the systems. The final stage of system adjustments will be up to the end of July.
