This paper gives a closer look on the subject of the conversion of a conventional metro line into a fully automated operation without interrupting or disturbing the service. In the introduction, we present the line 1 automation project as one of the principal aspects of Paris metro's network modernization plan announced by the Regie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP). The following section describes an application that is currently being developed by RATP in order to build the timetables and priority tables in order to manage the best the trains' movements in the terminal stations and on the line during the mixed traffic period while taking into account two opposite constraints: people and staff safety on one hand and quality of the service offered to the passengers on the other hand. This application is the development of line one model. Next, we present examples of scenarios applied on the terminal stations during the mixed traffic period. Finally we give the conclusions and an overview of the schedule of line one automation project.
