Advanced train control systems (ATCSs), which will allow dispatching, track switching, and even braking of trains by operators at remote sites, are discussed. The history and development of the concept are traced, and the architecture of ATCSs is described. Present and planned testing of various systems is discussed. The problems posed by writing software to connect the numerous ATCS systems are examined.
