A control system for a vehicle in a guideway network including a centralized control system configured to generate a first set of instructions. The control system further includes at least one de-centralized control system configured to generate a second set of instructions. The control system further includes an on-board controller configured to receive the first set of instructions and the second set of instructions during a same time period. The on-board controller is configured to receive the first set of instructions using a first communication technique. The on-board controller is configured to receive the second set of instructions via a second communication technique diverse from the first communication technique. If a discrepancy exists, the on-board controller is configured to execute a least restrictive of the first or second set of instructions. The control system is capable of seamlessly transferring control between the two control systems.
