A train control method which utilizes a ground radio communication unit, which communicates with an onboard communication unit installed on a train, and a balise, which is installed at a predetermined stop position where the train stops and capable of communicating with the train, and is used to calculate a stop limit position to be given to the train on the basis of information obtained via the ground radio communication unit in order to control the operation of the train in a predetermined section. When the radio communication between the onboard communication unit and the ground radio communication unit is disrupted, a radio communication disruption setting section is set with the inclusion of the section where the radio communication is disrupted; the on-track state of a train which is traveling inside the radio communication disruption setting section is estimated on the basis of a first stop limit position which causes the train to travel to the position of the balise, or a second stop limit position which is set ahead of the communication disruption setting section, and the last received position of the train; and the operation of the train is controlled on the basis of the estimated on-track state of the train. |
