Talk:Automatic train operation

message: I'm wondering what this text means: "Most systems elect to maintain a Driver, or at least a Train Operator (who may have the status of a semi-skilled Driver)[.]" I know that driver is the standard UK term, and it's also used in Australia IINM, but most North American systems use "train operator" to mean what "driver" means in the UK. Thus, "a Driver, or at least a Train Operator," sets up a contrast that makes no sense (or else is misleading) to a North American reader. --Tkynerd 00:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  The list on this page should be split but I don't think an another page should be created.   There is obviously a significant difference to the casual operator and driverless systems have become much more prevalent.  I have sorted the current list according to the given opening dates since this is what makes many of them notable. (Other dates could be added and a re-sort done).   Also I added the PATCO Speedline since it was the first ATO in the US. (There was a robotic mine railroad in the US early on - IIRC 1970s - but I can't it on the web.)

message: Has there ever been a hacker or cyber-attack incident on completely driverless lines? Underground railway No.4 is going to be total driverless here in Budapest, Hungary and I'm worried about safety. If anyone evil pries open a control box and attaches a laptop, he could theoretically send trains into each other. I think there should be a man and a dog left "in the loop", like on our existing Metro Line 3, not just electronics. The article does not say if anything like hacking has ever happened yet? 91.82.32.254 (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: 'Robotrain' redirects here per discussion at WP:RFD. Since 'Robotrain' is also a soubriquet for a New York City train, the hatnote is required to navigate readers looking for that train to the correct article. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:54, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Robotrain hatnote

message: In the section “Types of Train Automation” GoA3 is defined as 'driverless train operation (DTO)' and GoA4 is defined as 'unattended train operation (UTO)'
Two sections later, in “Records” it states “A ‘driverless’ train is defined as meeting GoA4".
Whilst this may be true and possibly reflects misnomer, misconception or simply the evolution of the subject, the apparent contradiction could usefully use some clarity (or re-writing) by someone more qualified than myself
Thanks

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I added info about this project to the article as well as to 2021 in science and Timeline of transportation technology. It may also be worth a short mention at List of automated train systems and Vehicular automation#Trains.
I'm not an expert in the state of train technology worldwide and would like to ask people watchlisting this page / other editors if the statements as accurate as they stand and as was claimed in the reports. If not please propose alternative phrasing or rationale for removal (I doubt that it should be removed) or edit it. If it is correct please confirm that this your assessment according to the currently available public data and whether it should be also added to these other two articles. For instance, it seems to contradict statements there like the info about London Thameslink and Docklands Light Railway in London at Vehicular automation#Trains. (However, if it was outright false then I'd wonder why most trains still aren't yet self-driving trains or close to becoming such and why it was phrased that way in WP:RS; the content of the article should be as accurate as possible.)
