ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling trains, in which method and apparatus, the location and the speed of a train on the line are acquired. A location specification is generated as a function of the acquisition, so that a movement control magnitude is delivered for controlling movement of the train. In the invention, a braking distance for the preceding train and the control magnitude are computed on the basis of the location specification plus the computed braking distance. Application in particular to ERTMS/ETCS systems.
