Abstract (en)

A metro traffic management method wherein wagons do not stop at each station and no wagon overtakes other wagons. In the claimed method, wagons travel in 1, 2, 3, 4 mode, meaning that a wagon stops at the next station, then skips one, then skips two and finally skips three stations to stop at the fourth station. Then the 1, 2, 3, 4 cycle is repeated. The object of the invention is to (a) increase the throughput capacity of metro lines; (b) reduce trip times and (c) achieve savings of electricity.
