Abstract
A method and system for managing guided vehicle traffic over a railway network include a first ATS system regulating guided vehicle traffic over a first regulation domain and a second ATS system regulating guided vehicle traffic over a second regulation domain. The first and second regulation domains have a common boundary. The first ATS system sends, to the second ATS system, configuration and circulation data for a part of the first regulation domain, for regulating guided vehicle traffic on the part according to a set of regulation data from the second ATS system. The second ATS system determines, from received configuration and circulation data, regulation data for an extended regulation domain including the second regulation domain and the part and for sending to the first ATS system the set of regulation data regulating the guided vehicle traffic on the part of the regulation domain of the first ATS system.
