Abstract
The present invention relates to an automated railway system and to a method of leading a vehicle by means of a control center from an automatically controlled area to an area of individual control. The speed-determining criteria in the area of individual control, for example, maximum speeds and stopping points, are stored in the control center and used to determine a transition speed and a transfer point which, in turn, are communicated as corresponding running commands to the vehicle still being in the area of the control center.
Claims6
A method of leading a vehicle by means of a control center from an automatically controlled area to an area of individual control, taking into account signals and the like, comprising the steps of
- storing in said control center speed determining criteria in the area of individual control, e.g. maximum speed and stopping points;
- determining from said stored criteria a transition speed between said two areas and a transfer point between said two areas;
- and
- communicating said transition speed and said transfer point as running commands to said vehicle when it is still in said automatically controlled area.
