Technology Signalling The entire operation of the new line is remotely controlled from a central dispatch room. Trains operate using the Cityflo 650 communications-based train control (CBTC) from CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems Limited, a joint venture between Bombardier and CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Co., Ltd. The automatic trains had initially six staff members working at each APM station, but the operator hopes to reduce that to one or two.

Rolling Stock

Pujiang Line uses rubber-tyred Bombardier Innovia APM 300 trains. The trains have 4 cars each, totaling in length, with capacity for 566 passengers per train. There are large windows at each end of the train allowing passengers to look out the front and rear. The small trains with rubber tires running on concrete tracks allow for turning radii as tight as to be negotiated, compared to over for typical metro on steel rails. On 13 January 2017, Bombardier delivered the first out of 44 autonomous people movers to Shanghai.
