Why It Matters
AI is pushing rail toward higher grades of automation (GoA 3-4), but supervisory operators who understand ATO system behavior, can intervene during edge cases, and manage degraded-mode operations remain safety-critical.
How to Get Started
Study the IEC 62290 standard for grades of automation in urban rail, pursue signaling and train control courses from IRSE (Institution of Railway Signal Engineers), and seek simulator training on ATO-equipped rolling stock.
