The report represents the completion of a project which deals with the economics of rapid transit train control. Information deeling with rapid transit control system from all parts of the world is used for the development of a computer program to analyze costs of an automatic vs. manual train control system. The Train Control Analysis Program (TCAP) utilizes actual data from an existing manual system which is considering automation, or it may be a system in the planning phases, which is trying to determine the proper transit control to utilize. The program operates in a time sharing mode so that it is very convenient to change certain input parameters and observe the corresponding analysis immediately. This program can be used to determine what the above benefits may cost in relation to a less sophisticated system. The results of this analysis may be used in the decision making process of selecting an adequate control system. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.
