In recent years, to increase transportation capacity, new intelligent signaling systems such as moving block have been proposed and put in operation. In addition, research and development on prediction control are now ongoing to decrease the propagation of train delay. Hence, it is important to estimate the effects of new signaling systems because replacement of current signal system may incur high costs. In this study, we developed new functions on a train operation and passenger flow simulator to analyze the activity of trains under moving block and prediction control, taking into account the drivers' operational requirements. We applied the simulation system to an actual commuter line, aiming to evaluate the quantification of effects of moving block and prediction control.
