Modular philosophy enables the standardized development of numerous reusable modules. These pre-programmed modules can be applied from project to project with a minimum of alteration and maximum reliability. The Control System is also the center of communications, station supervision and the depository of all vital functions. For rapid construction and minimum disruption to surrounding activities, the guideway is erected in pre-fabricated modular sections in prestressed concrete or steel, which may be readily lifted into place by day or night. The propulsion concept has the intrinsic safety feature of an air buffer between propulsion plates which helps to prevent collision between vehicles.
Automation includes redundant and high reliability systems.
Operation of vehicles is supervised by an automatic train protection system. Dual propulsion and friction emergency brakes are provided . Emergency exits at both ends of the vehicle allow easy passenger evacuation. The guideway itself acts as a passenger escape route. Two-way communication between vehicle and central control post is standard.
