Abstract

See full text

The movement route of a vehicle operative with a roadway track having a plurality of stations and control signal gates is selected from a storage table of predetermined available routes in accordance with the known track plan and in relation to each station. When the vehicle arrives at each of the stations, the desired available route is established to the next station in relation to occupied track signal blocks, the known direction of train movement and switch gates cleared to permit vehicle travel to that next station. The available route to the next station is cleared in time so the vehicle will not have to slow down or stop in front of a switch gate. In addition the spacing of vehicle trains is regulated in relation to the plurality of stations.
