Tekst achterflap

Every day, millions of people step onto a metro platform without giving much thought to the systems that make their journey possible. This book examines how urban rail networks are designed, built, and kept running, from tunnel construction and power systems to signaling, scheduling, and station operations. You will learn how trains are powered and controlled, how timetables are planned to manage passenger flow, and how safety and maintenance systems work together behind the scenes. The book also looks at the people and technology involved in daily operations, offering a clear picture of what it takes to keep a metro system functioning reliably. This book was generated using artificial intelligence. It offers a factual, accessible introduction for readers curious about the engineering and organization behind the metro systems many cities depend on.
