This paper is focused on an optimal block sectioning technique which are widely used in conventional railway system. We studied braking distance with pure train braking performance to generalize train braking. We tried to apply the braking distance to wayside signaling system to decide optimal block sectioning to reduce headway. The braking distances are obtained for 2 aspects, 3 aspects, 4 aspects and n aspects such that step speed control, are longer than the pure braking distance. We found an optimal solution with the generalized n aspects, and a minimum block distance for ATO mode.
