Abstract
Moving automatic block is a new train operation technology for high density of traffic with modern communication and computer technology. The paper introduces the basic principle of Moving Automatic Block System (MAS). The minimum headway and the carrying capacity are discussed in the section where MAS is adopted. Some conclusions are drawn as the results of computer-simulated experiments.
