7. How it works ?
◦ The ATC (automatic train control) system, which controls the route of
the train, works in tandem with the ATS, which interfaces between
the train and the line side equipment like the track circuits. Together,
the system moves the train from one station to the next, ensuring that
a minimum speed is maintained.
◦ Keeping the Delhi Metro running all day long without a glitch
requires not only regular maintenance of trains and tracks but also
constant monitoring of the system during operational hours.
