Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016119912A1] The present invention concerns a system and a method for coupling/uncoupling two guided vehicle units while said guided vehicle units are operated and moving on a track according to a predefined itinerary, the method comprising: - receiving a command for coupling/uncoupling the guided vehicles units; - checking coupling/uncoupling conditions; - locating a coupling/uncoupling track section on the itinerary of the guided vehicle units, wherein the coupling/uncoupling track section is a track section fulfilling criteria defined for ensuring safe coupling/uncoupling operation; - if a coupling/uncoupling track section has been located and the coupling/uncoupling conditions are fulfilled, then automatically performing the coupling/uncoupling of the guided vehicle units when the guided vehicle units enter said coupling/uncoupling track section, otherwise moving the coupled/uncoupled guided vehicles units according to said itinerary until a coupling/uncoupling track section is located or a station is reached.
