导读:1998年，巴黎，世界上第一条全自动无人驾驶地铁线投入运营。2016年，北京，用中国标准、中国技术建造出的第一条全自动无人驾驶地铁线——燕房线开启动车调试。
China’s first fully-automatic subway, Yanfang Line linking Hebei’s Yanjiao and Fangshan district in Beijing, will go on trial in December and is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2017.
中国的第一条全自动无人驾驶地铁线——连接河北省燕郊和北京房山区的燕房线，将在今年12月持续调试，并有望于2017年底正式运行。
Advantages
优势
In the fully-automatic subway system, trains will automatically run and stop, open and shut doors, and return back to its terminal station without any drivers or steward members, said Wang Daomin, head of the Beijing MTR Construction Administration Corporation, which is in charge of the city’s subway development.
负责北京地铁建设工作的北京地铁建设管理公司负责人王道民（音）表示，“运用全自动地铁系统，在没有司机和乘务员等人工干预的情况下，这条列车将自动发车离站、到站精准停车、自动开闭车门、自动返回到终点。”
Thus, trains will run accurately based on the timetable without any delays. Even when there is a problem, the system can repair itself automatically. The equipment fault period will also be prolonged to 4,500 hours, compared to 3,000 hours for the common trains.
因此，列车将按照时刻表精准运行，不会会任何延误，即使出现故障，它也可以自动修复。相比普通列车的3000小时，其设备故障期也将延长至4500小时。
Coverage
覆盖范围
Subway lines marked with red lines are those that will use the fully-automatic rail transit line system in Beijing.
下图中标识为红色的地铁线即为北京将投入使用全自动驾驶地铁的线路。
Apart from the Yanfang Line, Beijing’s subway line 3, line 12, line 17 and the new airportline will also use this system. By 2020, the municipality will have up to 300 kilometers of fully-automatic rail transit lines. Nationwide, the fully-automatic system will cover 1,000kilometers.
除了燕房线，北京地铁3号线，12号线，17号线和新机场专线也将使用该系统。到2020年，北京市全自动驾驶地铁线将覆盖长达300公里的距离。而在全国范围内，该系统将覆盖长达1000公里的路线。
Technical breakthroughs
技术突破
The world’s first fully-automatic subway debuted in 1998 in Paris. Though Beijing built its first fully-automatic subway line 10 years ago by purchasing the system techniques from abroad, the new Yanfang line is China’s very first rail transit line using self-developed techniques.
1998年，世界上第一条全自动无人驾驶地铁线在巴黎投入运营。尽管早在10年前，北京就已经从国外购买了相关技术建造了第一条全自动地铁线，但这条燕房线还是中国第一回以自己的技术修建的全自主全自动地铁线路。
China’s CRRC Corporation Limited, the world’s largest supplier of rail transit equipment,completed the construction of fully-automatic subway trains in 2015.
世界最大的轨道交通设备供应商——中国中车股份有限公司在2015完成了全自动地铁建设。
The trains can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour and can carry over 1,200 passengers.
该列车最高运行时速为80千米，最大载客量为1200余人。
