The JLE had PEDs installed primarily in order to reduce the number of
ventilation shafts, as the PEDs shield the waiting passengers from
excessive air flows through the station tunnels. Their use in order to
improve the safety of driverless trains is a separate issue. The DLR
manages to avoid having PEDs, so it's not necessarily essential to have
them before you introduce driverless trains.

Though the DLR has guards, who can do things like check there isn't
someone about to be dragged under the train before giving the automated
"ding ding". (Then again, on Merseyrail that time...)

A question I suppose - does the DLR have any kind of "crap, there's a
person on the track" sensor? Has anyone been run over?
