Fully Automated Operation System(FAO)

Background

The rapid development of urban rail transit has imposed higher requirements on train operation systems. Traditional systems, which rely heavily on manual operation, face issues such ashigh risks of human error and low operational efficiency. In this case, it has become an inevitable trend to develop FAO systems that feature high integration, advanced automation, sound safety protection, and flexible operational management.

Relevant policy documentsissued by the Ministry of Transport, international standards (including IEC 62290), and industry specifications (includingT/CAMET 04016 & 04017) provide guidance for the development of FAO systems, supporting the standardized and orderly advancement of the industry.

Product Features

Comprehensive Automation Upgrade
The system enables the transition from manned to unmanned driving, supporting full automation at the highest grade of automation (GoA4). It comprises multiple subsystems, includingsignaling, rolling stock, centralized monitoring, communications, and platform doors, forming a fully automated system that covers the entire train operation process.
System-wide, Multi-Scenario Coverage:
The system features all-area protection, 24/7 service, and fully automated end-to-end operation. By introducing scenario-based design principles, it enables multi-disciplinary coordination and integration. Meanwhile, precision scenario modeling driven by user needs ensures complete functional coverage and rigorous operational logic, providing a solid foundation for efficient urban rail transit operation.
Full Lifecycle RAMS Assurance
The system incorporates RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) principles across its entire lifecyclefrom user needs to design, development, testing and validation, and O&M. Safety-critical equipment adopts fault-tolerance mechanisms, and key componentsadopt redundancy techniques, effectively enhancing system reliability and availability. This ensures safe, efficient, and resilient train operation.
Cross-Disciplinary Deep Integration
Deep integration across multiple systems and disciplines—including signaling, rolling stock, centralized monitoring, and communications—at various levels and dimensions enhances the efficiency of inter-system data exchange, automated coordination, and emergency response, significantly improving overall system reliability and availability.
FAO Interoperability Standards
Based on unified FAO interoperability specifications and core producttechnical standards, the systemsupports trains equipped with signaling equipment from different vendors in operating on shared tracks and cross lines,enabling interconnection and through operation across the urban rail transit network.This facilitatesresource optimization and networked management on interoperable lines.

Application Examples

Beijing SubwayYanfang Line National Innovation Demonstration Project: As China’s first FAO line with completely independent intellectual property rights, its successful launch has attracted widespread attention within the industry and earned unanimous recognition from experts.

Beijing Daxing International Airport Express: As a high-speed FAO with a maximum operating speed of 160 km/h, the Beijing Daxing Airport Express aligns its train timetables with flight schedules.It enables airport intelligent application scenarios, such as train schedule adjustments, providing passengers with superior servicequality.

Nationwide Deployment:FAO has been successfully applied across26 lines in 12 cities nationwide, with a total mileage ofover 872.5kilometers.Its implementation has improved automation and operational efficiency inthese city, providing passengers with safer, more convenient, and comfortable travel services.
