Nitpick: Automation does not imply instllating platform doors.
Nuremberg U-Bahn uses radar instead to monitor the tracks.
I don't know the cost differences between those approaches.

- rocqua 7y agoThe following paragraph: "On 30 October 2008, the first accident resulting in a death occurred at Rathenauplatz station. A passenger fell onto the track as a driverless train approached the platform. The train was unable to halt in time because of the short distance to the fallen passenger and limitations of its braking system. Even if the same incident had occurred with a manually operated train, the driver would not have been able to halt in time either." from that page is completely without a source.
