SafeCap: The Train Advisory System for Real-Time Traffic Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
SafeCap is an advisory system which operates as a layer above the fixed-block signalling in order to improve track capacity and the operational safety of junctions and stations. It does this through real-time control which projects the current state of the train configuration along with its set of commands into the future. Control software allows the traffic to be quickly stabilised should there be a need to accommodate additional trains, recover from train delays, and, generally, sustain a high rate of train flow when there are limited opportunities for implementing stability margins in a schedule. © 2014 Newcastle University.

Real-time ATO Reconfiguration for Operational Stability
This paper briefly describes a technique for improving capacity and operational stability of busy mainline junctions and stations. The technique, called the SafeCap advisory system, employs a mixture of existing train monitoring and control technologies to introduce an advisory control layer on top of fixed-block signalling. We present the main design principles and illustrate the advantages of...
متن کاملConstrained Controller Design for Real-time Delay Recovery in Metro Systems
This study is concerned with the real-time delay recovery problem in metro loop lines. Metro is the backbone of public transportation system in large cities. A discrete event model for traffic system of metro loop lines is derived and presented. Two effective automatic controllers, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and model predictive controller (MPC), are used to recover train delays. A newly-...
متن کاملA neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country
Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
