If high-speed trains move under a moving block signaling (MBS) system, it is a quite challengeable and significant issue to cooperate the multiple high-speed trains, such that they are separated safely and governed steadily. As an intelligent, comprehensive, and advanced modern train operation control system, the MBS system will definitely, in the near future, replace the widely used fixed block signaling system due to its modern communication, multi-source positioning, and advanced control method. Due to the involvement of several subsystems and lots of track-side equipment, such as radio block center (RBC), global system for mobile communications-railway (GSM-R), and so on, it is a nontrivial task to develop a reliable MBS system under complex operational environments, particularly without a pivotally cooperative control method for the movement of multiple high-speed trains. This paper addresses the cooperative control for multiple high-speed trains to achieve prescribed performance tracking, i.e., the speed and the position of high-speed trains are guaranteed to be confined to specific speed limitations and allowed distances ratified by automatic train protection and moving authority, respectively. The proposed control requires no prior information of the empirical parameters of the operational resistances and online adjusts by proper adaptation laws. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.
