Abstract

With rapid development of electronic and computer techniques, the autoblock systems to control train operation in blocks is towards moving autoblock system (MAS) instead of fixed autoblock system (FAS). It is emphasized that MAS can enhance the carrying capacity of railway transport. In the paper, the advantages of MAS are analyzed, which includes the elastic dispatching for the different trains with different speed, density and weight, calculation of block carrying capacity, station carrying capacity. By comparison, it is pointed out that MAS can increase the capacity by 20% — 30% to FAS. An example of capacity calculation is given in the paper. Finally, the method which can be used for computer simulation to s
