6 The Traffic Control
During operation of a layout the Traffic Control shows the status of the currently selected
train, block or route and the current status of the indicators, that have been assigned
to the current object.
Diagram 107: Traffic Control
Here all important information about the currently selected train and its current location
congregates. When you select a train on the computer screen, then this train and the
block, where it is located, are displayed here. When you select a block or a route, then
this block/route and the train, which is currently there, if any, are displayed.
The speed of the train is made visible with a colored rectangle. The status of the block,
whether occupied or not, and the status of the block signals on both exits are displayed
as well.
Additionally the indicators, that have been assigned to the block or to the route, are displayed.
The status of each indicator, whether occupied or not, and the usage of each indicator
as a brake or stop indicator for a certain direction are displayed here, too.
If the digital system, to which these indicators belong, is running in offline mode, then
you can toggle the state of each indicator by clicking to it with the mouse. In this way
the movements of trains can be simulated very conveniently: simply select the block
that you want to look at on the computer screen and click to the occupancy, brake or
stop indicator to simulate what happens if a train passes this indicator. Please refer also
to page 142 for further details about simulation.
