ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for controlling vehicles equipped with computer systems from a center of a rapid transit system. If at least two vehicles equipped with computer systems form a train, and the computer system of the vehicle controlling the train fails, the control of the train can be shifted onto the computer system of another vehicle. Therefore, the individual on-board computers need not be fully redundant.
