schedule. This other schedule can, however, be another run of the same schedule diagram.
• It is not possible to change a train within a schedule.
Schedules describe train movements of one train from blocks to other blocks without
changes of trains and without changes of direction.
You can create as many schedules as you need.
Schedules are not bound to specific trains. In principle, each schedule can be executed
by any train. In this way, by specifying only a few schedules it is possible to
achieve varied operation for many different trains. To start a schedule with a specific
train, the train must, however, be currently located in a block of this schedule.
To run your trains with realistic speed it is very important that the speed profile of
each affected engine is set (see section 3.5, “The Speed Profile”).
5.12 Execution of Schedules
For varied operation or special situations you can specify among others the following
attributes for each schedule:
• If the schedule will be executed manually or automatically controlled by the computer.
• A time period for which the Dispatcher repeatedly tries to start the schedule, if the
first attempt to start the schedule fails.
• Whether certain blocks or routes of the schedule will be passed with restricted
speed.
• Operations, which are executed at the beginning, at the end or during the schedule.
• Whether and how often the schedule will be repeated as a cycle or by a shuttle train.
• A selection of other schedules, which are started after finishing the schedule with
regard to availability or by random selection
Starting a Schedule
Each schedule can be started during operation of the layout in either of the two possible
directions, i.e. from the starting to the destination blocks or vice versa.
