Resumen
A new method of controlling trains based on constant communications with each train is known as Communications Based Train Control (CBTC). This method allows more traffic and trains closer together at the same time improving safety. This paper looks at an open on-board CBTC controller for subway cars using a modified model of N-version programming to create a system that guarantees the highest level of safety, at the same time performing the on-board functions required by CBTC. © 2005 IEEE.
