Abstract:
A train control method of detecting trains on a track, comprising the steps of dividing the track into a plural of block sections, placing a wayside communication element in each block section, placing a cab communication element on each train to communicate with said wayside communication element when said cab communication element enters a predetermined area of said wayside communication element, and letting a wayside control device communicate with an onboard control device through said wayside communication element and said cab communication element:wherein said wayside control device receives a train identifier (ID) from said onboard control device and transmits the current position information and the stop position information to said onboard control device and wherein said onboard control device creates a protection speed pattern between the current train position and the stop position from said current position information and said stop position information and limits the high-limit speed of said train by said protection speed pattern.
