An improved train vehicle speed control system is provided for operation in conjunction with train vehicle occupancy control signals and train occupancy indication signals in relation to a train vehicle track system including a plurality of predetermined track circuit signal blocks through which the train vehicles pass. It is desired that control of train vehicle speed be provided in relation to the detected occupancy by the train vehicle in a particular signal block, for maintaining train vehicle occupancy protection requirements and providing protection signals to establish desired sequential occupancy control of the train vehicles through each of selected signal blocks adjacent to that particular signal block. Spurious pseudo vehicle occupancy in any signal block is detected and included in the provided train speed control in relation to that signal block. The provided train vehicle occupancy control signal is determined in relation to the provided occupancy indication signal, predetermined protection signals and the unique features of the signal block in which train vehicle occupancy is detected.
