The report deals with the problem of the control of high-speed vehicles so that safe merging from two guideways into a single one takes place. The theory of optimal control is used to analyze the problem. Two main results are obtained: first, the optimal control of the vehicles is obtained for any given merging sequence and second, the best possible merging sequence is obtained. (Author)
