First driverless line in Spain, the new metro line 9 under construction will soon become the backbone of the Barcelona's public transport system. Early March 2003, GISA — Generalidat de Catalunya — awarded Siemens Transportation Systems and its consortium the contract for equipping the line 9 with CBTC for driverless train operation. The CBTC system will equip 50 steel-wheeled trains running on 42 km of line. The paper provides an overview of the driverless signalling project.
