Claim 9:
10. A communication-based train control system comprising a plurality of on-board train control computers, wherein an on-board train control computer controls the operation of associated train, including the operation of the train on a first line in a transit property, and on a second line in said transit property, wherein an on-board train control computer provides operating data related to the operation of associated train,
At least one cloud computing facility that includes computing resources that virtualize train control functions for a zone controller, wherein the computing resources generate control messages needed for the operation of trains on the first line and the second line, wherein the messages are configured to ensure interoperability of trains as they move on the first line and the second line,
a communication link that provides two-way communications between said at least one cloud computing facility and the on-board train control computers, wherein operating data generated by on-board train control computers and control messages generated by said computer resources are transmitted via the communication link.
