Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0375553A1] The transport system, especially for urban transport, comprises separate automatic control units (14, 16), each assigned to the management of a particular section of the track, each section being equipped with means of communication between the fixed automatic management control unit of this section and the vehicles travelling on the section. Each section (18, 20) is broken down by immaterial means into a plurality of blocks of fixed and arbitrary length, means being provided for detecting the block occupied by each of the vehicles (10) travelling on the section and for indicating it to the corresponding automatic control unit, and the automatic control units being designed to supply each vehicle located on the section with information in the form of block indications on the spacing to be maintained relative to the preceding vehicle. <IMAGE>
