If the teething troubles they had with the JLE were correctly reported,
most of the PED-synching is down to the driver's skills, rather than
technology.
Its ATO.
What is, JLE or the Battersea extension?
Both now, but not the Jubilee when the JLE with its PEDs first opened.
However there still needs to be something to tell the platform doors
to open when the train doors open and I assume its some bit of NFC kit on the
train.
If ATO doesn't know where the train is, just as well as that sort of NFC
device, I'm astonished.
I think it's the signalling that operates the doors, and of course it knows
exactly where the train is. But I'm not sure how it knows to close the
PEDs.
