TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

• The look ahead to select an optimal path out of several possible alternate paths is
limited by the end of the current schedule in the sequence. This can improve the performance
of the path selection, but may lead to selection of non-optimal paths.
• Schedule sequences can be started in reverse direction, i.e. beginning with a destination
block of the last schedule in the sequence end ending in a start block of the first
schedule in the sequence.
• During the change from one schedule of the sequence to the next certain minor limitations
may apply with regard to calculation of block signal aspects and speed limits
due to technical reasons.
Schedule Successors:
• Change of train is possible between two subsequent schedules in the chain of successor
schedules.
• Static linkage between a schedule and the subsequent schedules in the chain of successors.
• Like schedule sequences the look ahead to select an optimal path out of several
possible paths is limited by the end of the current schedule with the same consequences
as with schedule sequences.
• Chains of schedule successors cannot be started in reverse direction.
• During the change from one schedule to a successor schedule without train change
certain minor limitations may apply with regard to calculation of block signal aspects
and speed limits due to technical reasons.
Single long Schedules:
• Change of train is not possible, until the schedule is terminated.
• The look ahead to select an optimal path out of several possible alternate paths can
take into account the complete path to the block, where the train will finally stop.
This supports the selection of optimal paths at the expense of program performance.
• Single schedules can be started in reverse direction, i.e. from a destination block to a
start block.
• Single schedules can be repeated as cycle or as shuttle train.
