Research and development of new urban transit systems in Japan began with monorails in the 1960s, followed by the development of the so-called “New Urban Transit System” (AGT) in 1970, and the world's first unmanned automatic train operation was put to practical use in Kobe and Osaka in 1981. Automatic train operation was also subsequently introduced and expanded to subway lines.
