The system will reduce examination times from 68 minutes (53 minutes for examination plus 15 minutes for unit movements) to 25 minutes plus 15 minutes for unit movement, aligning with the depot’s 40-minute throughput schedule and 5-day examination cycle for a 36-train fleet, servicing up to 8 trains per night
