Development of public transportation is one of the key and vital solutions to this concern. Without paying enough attention to proper public transportation it becomes almost impossible to solve this issue. As a result, transportation is considered to be a development index throughout the world, and railway transportation is considered to be one of its most important and vital forms. Easy access, short waiting times, fast and comfortable trips, high safety and artistic design are all important factors in attracting more passengers to use public transportation. Recent public transportation systems move toward fully automatic operations with the least possible human interferences, so that a safer and more economic system is provided for passengers. Automatic Train Operation (ATO) plays an important role in this. Skilled human operator controls the train much better than the conventional controller of ATO. This is because the human operator thinks about different control system indices and evaluates them directly. By comparing the results of the data analysis for the two systems measures, the researcher gives a guide for using both studied modes; ATO and LMD
