Abstract

Optimization theory is applied to the design of feedback control systems for high-capacity automated transit systems. The resulting controllers are shown to keep headway and velocity errors small without causing passenger discomfort. Excellent dynamic response is achieved during normal mainline operation, merging and demerging, maneuvering and emergency stopping.
