The invention provides a train control method and device. The method includes the steps that a line condition of a train is obtained; the load compensation accelerated speed is generated according tothe line condition; the control level of the train is obtained, and the traction brake accelerated speed corresponding to the control level is generated; the actual traction brake accelerated speed isgenerated according to the load compensation accelerated speed and the traction brake accelerated speed; and the actual traction brake force is obtained according to the actual traction brake accelerated speed, and the train is controlled to operate according to the actual traction brake force. The traction brake force of the train can be adjusted according to the train traveling line condition and the train control level, the load compensation accuracy is improved, and the train operates more stably and safely.
