The third phase of Shanghai Rail Transit Line 8 will use driverless technology
by the end of the year.
It is understood that as a passenger flow collection system at the end of the medium-volume city, the third phase of Line 8 trains adopts the world's advanced driverless technology (no cab at the front of the train) and will be put into trial operation
at the end of this year.

It is reported that the third phase of Line 8 is a four-car marshalling train with a passenger capacity of about 726 people
.
Considering the transportation capacity and environmental requirements, the third phase of Line 8 adopts a rubber wheel rail automatic driverless operation system, and the vehicle adopts the latest model produced by CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems Co.
, Ltd.
: INNOVIAAPM300 train
.
The rubber wheel rail APM system, also known as the automatic passenger rapid transit system, as a mature and reliable mass transportation system, is currently widely used
in the United States, Japan, France and other countries.

In the unmanned system, the line is equipped with the advanced CityFlo650 signaling system, which operates in the GOA4 mode, the highest level of the unmanned system in the rail transit industry, reducing the driving interval and achieving high-frequency departures, which can further reduce the waiting time of passengers while increasing the transportation capacity
