A NETWORK MANAGEMENT SIMULATION OF AUTOMATED GUIDEWAY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS UNDER VEHICLE-FOLLOWER CONTROL

A computer simulation was developed for the evaluation of station operations, vehicle management techniques, and vehicle-follower longitudinal control algorithms in a full automated guideway rapid transit network context. The simulation was then exercised to investigate the performance characteristics of interactions among vehicle control, network management, and station models.
