The present invention concerns a method and system for managing traffic of guided vehicles over a railway network, the system comprising:- a first ATS system (ATS_1) configured for regulating the traffic of guided vehicles (3) over a first regulation domain (R1) of the railway network;- a second ATS system (ATS_2) configured for regulating the traffic of guided vehicles (3) over a second regulation domain (R2), wherein the first and the second regulation domains have a common boundary (B) and wherein at least one track connects a first position located within the fi rst regulation domain (R1) to a second position located within the second regulation domain (R2);characterized in that- the second ATS system (ATS_2) is configured for detecting a limited traffic capacity at said second position and for automatically computing, in function of the detected limited traffic capacity, a target headway defined between two successive guided vehicles having to cross the common boundary for entering the second regulation domain (R2);- the first ATS system (ATS 1) is configured for automatically determining, from the received target headway, a reference timetable for the first regulation domain (R1), wherein said reference timetable complies with the received target headway.
