C202 Advanced Train and Traffic Control Based on Prediction of Train Movement

抄録

Trains are often forced to decelerate or stop between stations on commuter lines because the preceding train has been delayed. If a train stops between stations, both the travel time and the interval between trains will increase. This situation has an adverse effect on energy consumption. To solve this problem. we propose a new train control method based on the prediction of train movement and data communications between railway sub-systems. Computer simulations are carried out to verify the effect of the proposed method, and it was proved that the new method reduces the train stopping time between stations and the energy consumption at substations.
