Cab signalling and speed supervision will ensure safety on the third major phase of the Seoul Subway, consisting of two north-south lines totalling 57 km. Chopper-controlled trains are being built by Daewoo under subcontract to GEC of Britain, and GEC also has overall responsibility for ensuring technical compatibility with electric power and S&T equipment supplied by Welco and Wabco from the USA.
