    In this project, we propose to simulate a completely automated solution for a driverless metro train. This is achieved by compiling a ladder logic program in PLC for controlling various systems of the metro train. Each output of the ladder logic controls a relay. This output is interfaced to the electrical systems of the train via Electrical Distribution Board. The Electrical Distribution Board is the heart of the train system which feeds electrical supply into subsidiary circuits through relays & contactors while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure. The objectives to be covered under this project are :(1) To understand the Start-up and Shut down sequence of metro train.(2) To study the interlocks with other systems involved in Start-up and Shut down of metro train.(3) To simulate the control logic for the operation of Pantograph, Door systems and Train shuttle between stations.
