Upon detecting a current balise, an onboard system of a train calculates a speed curve based on measured traveling speed at a timing of the detection and sets a minimum required time period for traveling to each of a next balise and a balise subsequent to the next balise. Upon detecting the next balise, the onboard system compares a traveling time period from the timing of detecting the current balise to the timing of detecting the next balise with the set minimum required time period. The onboard system activates an emergency brake when the elapsed time period is shorter than the minimum required time period to stop the train.

A control method for a train to enter an emergency traction mode is provided. The control method for a train to enter an emergency traction mode is applicable to a traction control system of a train. The method includes the following steps: It is detected whether current emergency traction information satisfies a condition of entering an emergency traction mode. When the current emergency traction information satisfies the condition of entering the emergency traction mode, the train is controlled to enter the emergency traction mode. A hard-wired signal sent by a driver controller is received, and a corresponding operation is performed according to a type of the hard-wired signal.

A system and a method for initiating an emergency braking of a guided vehicle, where the system is configured for cooperating with a braking system of the guided vehicle. The system includes a processing unit configured for initiating the emergency braking if it detects that a guided vehicle speed V at a guided vehicle position X exceeds a speed limit V.sub.limit that is defined for the position X in order to ensure that a speed V.sub.0 is reached at a final position X.sub.0 located upfront the guided vehicle on a route followed by the guided vehicle.
