Abstract :
The author describes how they are developing a new automatic train stop (ATS) system that generates a speed check pattern by the on-board unit of the existing ATS system up to the stop signal and automatically applies an emergency brake when the train speed is higher than the check speed. The new system is compatible with the existing ATS system and easy to introduce at low cost. This paper outlines the new ATS system and reports its test results
