Abrégé

The running of the vehicles (T) is controlled according to a control rule (REG1) in which the parking time (TS) of each vehicle (T) at each station (S) of the line is adjusted depending on the detection of the end of the activity of the passenger exchange flow (FIN) at each station between said station and the train stopped alongside the platform of said station. The amplitude of this adjustment of the parking time (TS) at each station (S) for each train is limited between a minimum value (TSmin) and a maximum value (TSmax) defined dynamically and in real time depending on the lateness or earliness of the vehicle accumulated with respect to the time reference system (REF) from the start terminal of the line. The running of the vehicles is controlled according to a control rule (REG2) in which the travel time of the vehicle between two stations is adapted taking into account the level of crowding on the platform (SAT) of the following station measured in real time after each departure of the preceding vehicle.
