New computer tools and techniques are enhancing our ability to do detailed analysis and research aimed at defining and improving the capacity of transit control systems. This paper gives a brief overview of those tools, shows how they are being applied to an existing system to improve its performance, and presents some of the issues that these tools address with respect to designing new control systems. The tools are being applied to analyze the capability of several existing systems and to define requirements for new systems. The term control system includes wayside speed controls, interlocking, central control, on-vehicle braking and control systems, and manual control exercised by operations personnel.
