Abstract
Automation of underground rail-transport systems seems to be somewhat more difficult than automation of belt-bunker-systems. However, at least certain aspects of operation of an underground rail-transport system are promising fields for improving the efficiency of the system by automation.One of these is the decision-making process during dispatching the trains, both empty and loaded; automation of this process will make it possible to use “optimal” priority rules which often cannot be applied by normal dispatching.The paper describes some results of studies which have been carried out in order to determine both optimal priority rules and the likely effect of these rules to the efficiency of the system.
