Abstract:
1. A train control system, comprising: a first control system that controls, based on a control signal from the ground side, running of a first train and a second train that runs following the first train; a second control system that controls the running of the second train by an inter-train signal received from the first train including first identification information that distinguishes the first train; and a third control system that detects passing of the first train from the ground side, acquires train information including second identification information that distinguishes the first train, detects passing of the second train from the ground side, and transmits the train information to the second train, thereby controlling running of the second train utilizing either one of the first control system or the second control system by changing over therebetween based on the train information, wherein the third control system changes over to the first control system when the second identification information in the train information received by the second train differs from the first identification information of the inter-train signal.
