Abstract :
A metro centralized train operation control algorithm is proposed which answers to the changes in the regulation restrictions, normally considered fixed, caused by perturbations in the system. A method is explained of using special regulative characteristics of every station-to-station block of the metro line, which allows the usage of more flexible running and station times for the trains. Proposed algorithm lowers the quantity of restrictive signals generated by the safety system ("red lights") and, by consequence, lowers the quantity of emergency stops between stations, allowing to save energetic resources spent on repeated train acceleration and to raise, in general, the quality of the transportation process.
