BLOCK SIGNAL INSTABILITY IN RAPID TRANSIT HEADWAY CONTROL

The headway control for a high speed transportation system where vehicles are moving along guideway is studied. The guideway is divided into blocks and the block signal is used for vehicles' speed control. The instability of the measured block signal is investigated. A method is devised to extract the actual block signal from the measured block signal.
