This volume provides a description of the experimental system and allocates control system functions between wayside and on-board vehicle components and experimental data for a variety of longitudinal control maneuvers. The State Constrained Longitudinal Control Law is also discussed, which was implemented in hardware and software and evaluated by way of experimentation. In this report, the control system was partitioned into on-board and wayside components connected by way of an inducive communication system. The longitudinal control system performed velocity tracking, velocity regulation, overtake, queueing, slot slip, slot advance, and entrainment closure maneuvers within the service jerk and acceleration constraints. Experimental results are presented and conclusions drawn from the program.
