Claim 9:
10. A method, which controls trains by using an environmental model that is defined by the number of a plurality of closed sections constituting a track included in a predetermined control target region, a connection configuration of the closed sections, and the number of trains present on the track, a state of the environmental model being changed discretely according to a combination of a position of one control target train that is the train to be controlled, positions of zero or more other trains, and presence or absence of reservation for each of the closed sections, the method comprising:
a step of selecting any one of actions of “reservation of a closed section or release of the reservation”, “movement to a reserved closed section”, and “standby in a current closed section”, which are to be performed by the control target train depending on the state of the environmental model, so as to satisfy a predetermined condition that is a condition for passing through the control target region;
a step of generating a control logic that is a logic for transitioning the state of the environmental model depending on the selection result;
a step of sequentially determining the actions, which are to be performed by the control target train depending on the state of the environmental model, on the basis of the generated control logic until the predetermined condition is satisfied; and
a step of regenerating the control logic with a present state of the environmental model as an initial state before the predetermined condition is satisfied.
