TRAFFIC CONTROL POLICIES FOR AN UNDERGROUND SYSTEM
On underground railway lines with low exploitation interval, when disturbances occur, the number of trains and stations involved increases rapidly in proportion to the size of the incident. The paper discusses a method for controlling the results of an incident by reabsorbing and distributing these disturbances in the entire traffic system. To do this, the regulation demands a new schedule for all trains and stations affected by the incident by acting upon the stop times and speeds controlled by the automatic train control.
