The technology of Continuous Automatic Train Control System (CATC) which is based on Communication based Train Control System. Which includes also Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Automatic Train Operation (ATO) and Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) subsystems using radio communication between Trackside and Train. A total of 2.63 billion (approximately) people travelled annually in metro systems across India’s fifteen big cities. A the end of the day we see how fast are going the era with its new invention.
