  • Abstract
    This paper describes microprocessor control of commuter trains using different scenarios. Each of the trains will have individual speed controls and various destinations. The systems discussed are adaptive in the sense that they respond to random traffic demands. The microprocessor is required to continually monitor the locations of all trains and thus avoid collision conditions. The specific problem of the commuter train in Athens is discussed, and a possible improvement using a microprocessor is presented.
