TRAIN CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

To contribute to safe train operation by appropriately switching the control on a train passing a control section border. A train control apparatus includes: a first ground device 22a provided in a first section CZ1 in a train travel path; and a second ground device 22b provided in a second section CZ2 in the train travel path, the section CZ2 continuing from the first section CZ1 in a train travel direction. When a train 10 in the first section CZ1 enters a control transition section ZCR determined using a control section border CZI as a termination end, the first ground device 22a instructs a first vehicle radio set 14r to send a first report signal RR1 to the first ground device 22a in accordance with a first communication condition determined by the first ground device 22a, and instructs a second vehicle radio set 14f to send a second report signal RF2 to the second ground device 22b in accordance with a second communication condition determined by the second ground device 22b. In response to the reception of the second report signal RF2 from the second vehicle radio set 14f, the second ground device 22b instructs the second vehicle radio set 14f to send a report signal including train location information to the second ground device 22b in accordance with the second communication condition.
