Abstract
Automatic train control in railway systems is gaining increasing importance with the continuous need to reduce excess fuel consumption and unnecessary time delays while still maintaining a safe and reliable rail service. The paper describes a fuzzy logic controller which forces a train to track a safe braking curve (ATP curve), thus ensuring the train avoids time consuming conservative braking, without compromising the train safety.
