I spent more than two years to create this game which enables players to drive a train following signals and based on precise physics culculation while other trains run simultaneously according to timetables.
There are 37 sets of Tobu trains and 7 of others running on lines of some 50 kilomters.
You are to drive precisely and safe.
The ATS game--
replicates actual operations of switch rails, signals and crossing gates.
reproduces passing loop on a single line, train overtaking, and stop signals before arriving at terminals.
uses transition curves on railroads to offer very gradual curve.
gives you general idea of how signals and safety equipment work.
lets players know why it takes extra time during rush hour.
Licensed by TOBU RAILWAY CO.,LTD.
This is a work of fiction. Train lines and stations are used fictiously. Any resemblance to actual locales is entirely coincidental.

My Amazing Experience With Train Drive ATS
Hello. I hope the developer of this game sees this, but I would also like others to know. This game was way ahead of its time on its release. The physics engine, maps, stations, and trains are so ahead of its time. This game was released back in 2012, and I remember playing it as a kid who just liked trains. Out of all of them, this was by far my favorite. I remembered the name all through these years and just now decided to get the full version. So nostalgic, and genuinely fun for the right audience.

Update
I really think this game is fantastic! It has so many engaging elements that make it enjoyable to play. However, I'm quite surprised that it isn't updated more frequently. It feels like there is so much potential for new features and improvements. I wonder when we might expect to see some updates or perhaps even a fourth version of the game? It would be exciting to see what new content could be added!

Opinion on Train Drive ATS
So I’ve played this game for over 6 years now (when the lite version was still available) and I was fascinated by the graphics of the game. It made it look like a special train game on the App Store. But there were 2 problems when I played the full version.
1 When a new update came, I would sometimes lose access to the trains in this and 2, which would result in deleting the app and replaying the scenarios in order to have access to them again.
2 The map and sound effects seem to glitch often, at least for someone using an iPhone 8 like me. Please fix this ASAP if you can.
Other than those problems, I enjoyed playing this game, as well as Train Drive ATS 2 & 3.
But if there’s one thing I’d ask for, more stations/lines for this game and 2 and a 4th game. Thank you ;)

Great game for transit Fans.
I myself am a transit fan based out of NYC, and this game is fun for those who wants to operate a train in this case a subway train. Time killer too when traveling from Point A to point B. Though I wish there was a way to choose your line and train and if they could add more routes instead of choosing between a local up to a rapid express time schedule. But hey, we can't be picky anyways for those looking to download this game, I recommend it.

100% #1 ON THE APP STORE!!!!!
Thank you so much for this autistic-inspiring, interestingly explorative, BEST GAME in the whole wide App Store! Thank you, Takahiro Ito and partners!!! I may be American, and at first not understand, but now it's the #1 train driving game I have ever found! For more than 2 years of work, it has turned out to be the best game ever made!
Also, I wish that there were track numbers for all of the new stopping points that were added in Version 4, like on the Bushu-Fujiwara Line.
There are certain things about train automation that I like and dislike in this game:
1: I like that there are communications that will display how far away the train is from a stopping point.
2: I like that all of the sections of track on the railway have assigned speed limits that communicate with the trains to display the speed limit for the train.
3: I like that the AUTO function is available.
4: I don't like when the automation thinks that a train is over-speeding, because the automatic B7 or EB enables. It makes me feel like I have failed. As long as the automation tells me the speed limit, I will be able to drive better. Also, if I don't stop the train before it makes contact with a deadhead on a track, it should not activate an auto EB, but it should end the scenario if I drive over the end of a train track. Also, if I do not slow down a train when the speed limit changes to a lower amount, or, if I'm speeding, it should end the scenario if I am over the speed limit for 10 seconds.
5: Having only 4 meters of stopping area at the stopping points seems very small. I wish that it was 6 meters of available stopping area for every stopping point. When a train is 6 cars long, the front or back of the train is not passed the front or back of the station platform if the train overshoots or undershoots the stopping point on a 6 car long train platform.
To make the train driving experience more realistic, I wish that the following things were adjustable:
1: I wish that you were able to adjust what appears on the information panel at the top of the screen.
2: I wish that you were able to adjust what appears on the panel at the bottom of the screen.
3: I wish that you were able to adjust what appears in the list of buttons that has the MENU button in it.
I understand that trying to change all of this to be this way will take a lot more work, but if all of these changes were to be applied to this game, it would make it so much better.

Good but not too good.
1st get rid of the POINT counter! 2nd get rid of that auto brake system! 3rd get rid of that stoping meter system on train stations, that RED BLUE RED arrows. Then will be great game to enjoy? What's the point system for? Or auto brake? It's taking whole fun out of game.

Very good app. If this was ever ported to PC, I would definitely buy it.
I would recommend adding a joke feature though:
Add a dead man brake.
In real life, if the engineer doesn't disarm the dead man brake system every so often, the train will automatically stop.
Just a fun little thing I'd like to see.
Maybe annoy my friends as the alarm goes off to disarm the system ouo

Upgrade
I like this game a lot. But something needs to change. I need 4 tracks to run for 16.5 km to run to Shin-Hanyu. 2 tracks can be for local. The maximum speed for the local tracks can be 105km. Now for the other 2. These can be for the high speed tracks. The maximum speed is 160km. Put the CLE= Commuter Limited Express, Express, Rapid Express and Semi Express. Make the stations the same. Put new trains Please. Make sidings on the main line. Rescue trains are allowed. A new Train Yard for storage. Then for the 8.9 km line from Tosai-Dobustu-Koen to Yorii Machi, Make another track, make it longer and put 4 stations. Maximum speed is 110km. I hope this upgrade comes. Pau

This simulator is well developed and enjoyable. I spend a lot of time playing this game. The developer has paid attention to detail and it shows.

More signals
In reality your speed restrictions would not randomly change (at least not in U.S.) without a track signal. You would not be able to pull up to the back of another train. The block would be restricted. Otherwise, fantastic game. Hoping for an update with new lines.

Turn off ATS
This is a nice simulation but please give us the ability to turn off ATS.
Allow us to skip stops as we please.
Turn on a consequences option where if we go too fast, the train derails or if we run a red light, the train goes in to a automatic stop.
In other words, make it more realistic.

I like this app, and I would like to play all 24 hours, and not just the morning, like have it day/night cycle and weather patterns, but otherwise it's a good app, but how ever there a bug at 10:40 that stops all the trains from moving most noticeable at himlyshi, to get around it you have to start a new game at 11:00.

Awesome
This is an amazing app. I spend a countless amount of hours playing with it. However, I'd like to see a lot more sections where there are four tracks available, similar to the Itabashichou station, so that the Express trains does not have to be delayed if a local train is in front of it. I would also like the option to drive a train down a different line or select my own destination, other than the Tosai line, perhaps being able to drive past Yori-Machi or Asakusa-Motomachi. I would also like to see the train doors really open and close. Otherwise, this app is awesome!!

Beautiful
The hard work that went into this app is astounding. I love the sound FX too- if you've spent any time in Japan it will bring back memories. My only issue is the price of the full version- it's a bit high. Regardless, it's thoughtfully done. Cheers
よろしくお願いします
Edit: perhaps an issue with ATS system: if posted speed is met, a new sudden (if drastic) reduction in speed is directed, however the ATS system penalizes you in an unrealistic manner. It is impossible to go from posted speed to new reduced speed in nanoseconds- i believe there should be a few more seconds to avoid penalty.
Also, the signals could use more brightness (perhaps lens flare) to make them clearer and more visible.
Lastly, how about dawn, sunset or nighttime operation to show off the lighting/signals.
