Introduces a new digital ATC (automatic train control) device system. In current ATC devices, a central ATC logic device calculates the permitted speed of each blocking section and controls the speed of all the trains. On the other hand, in the new digital ATC device, a central logic controller calculates each position to which a train can move safely and sends the information on positions to all the trains. On each train, the on-board equipment calculates an appropriate braking pattern with the information, and controls the velocity of the train, i.e., in the new system, the device on each train autonomously calculates the permitted speed of that train. These special features realize an ideal speed control for each train, making full use of its performance for acceleration and deceleration, which in turns allows high-density train operations.
