An anti-collision control system for one or more vehicles fitted with an onboard automatic pilot (self-guiding) allowing for bi-directional movements on a single track under the control of a ground-based automated traffic control unit of the CBTC type. The system includes: a signaling control unit of the AWS type for controlling ground signals on a section of a single-direction circulation lane; a first default control means based on which the signaling control unit imposes a single-direction movement to the vehicle running on the section of a single-direction circulation lane in order to avoid any collision with another vehicle controlled solely by the signaling control unit of the AWS type, i.e. independently from the ground-based automated traffic control unit. A first advantage of the invention is that a second control mode can be activated, in which a displacement of the vehicle piloted in opposite directions on a portion at least of the section of the initially single-direction circulation lane, can be initiated by way of a request for a control priority demand sent by the automated traffic control CBTC to the AWS signaling control unit, which in turn sends back an authorization (or refusal) signal RESP to said request.
