it means that though the train is theoretically driverless, it is, in some conditions, manned
here it seems that this is the case when there is a failure in the system but not one serious enough to prevent "normal" operations.
They have a man aboard just in case

I think the penny may have just dropped here......
What i believe this passage is saying is that if there is some fault that does not require the suspension of traffic, a train will proceed under automatic conditions, but with a qualified staff member riding in the driving compartment, to carry out a visual inspection of the affected section of line. This would explain what is meant by 'reconnaissance' in this context.
I'm sure you will find an effective way of paraphrasing this more succinctly :-)
