An automatic train operation system operated due to braking performance degradation, comprising:
- a brake fault diagnosis unit to diagnose a fault status of a brake of a train;
- a travel speed profile generator configured to generate, when a fault occurs in the brake of the train, a degraded mode travel speed profile such that the train moves to a stopping point at a speed within a speed limit through a powering operation or a coasting operation;
- and
- a travel speed controller configured to control a travel speed of the train according to the travel speed profile,
- wherein the degraded mode travel speed profile comprises:
- a powering profile for powering the train up to a degraded mode speed limit, the degraded mode speed limit being lower than the speed limit;
- a constant speed profile for repeating the powering operation and the coasting operation to maintain the train at the degraded mode speed limit;
- and
- a coasting profile for stopping the train at a stopping point through the coasting operation.
