Advances in free-propagation radio technology provide the opportunity for significant advances in control system for APMs. For mass transit authorities, using free-propagation radio for track-to-train data transmission provides a number of benefits. The free-propagation radio communication system engineered by Siemens is the outcome of more than thirteen years of development and field experience in radio propagation in the harsh underground metro environment. It has been designed to support both attended and driverless train operations. It is now fully installed on the Canarsie Line of New York City Transit. It will equip the five lines of the OURAGAN resignalling program undertaken by RATP (Paris), Line 9 in Barcelona (Spain) and Line 2 in Budapest (Hungary). The paper describes the recent advances in the field of wireless communication with an emphasis on their application to APMs.
