"CYBERNETIC ISLAND HANOVER": A LARGE-SCALE TEST FOR THE RAILROAD TRANSPORT CONTROL

KYBERNETISCHE INSEL HANNOVER EIN GROSSVERSUCH ZUR EISENBAHN-TRANSPORTSTEUERUNG

The German Federal Railway employs in the large-scale test "Cybernetic Island Hanover" data processing installations for integrated transport control. In the data acquisition, the required information is immediately fed into an EDP, the consignment note including the calculated costs is printed out, and the transport order given to the Traffic Operating Department. A second EDP "makes up" or "splits up" the respective trains. In the west-east-system of the marshalling yard Seelze, 42 departure yards are involved. The third EDP controls the circulation of trains on the line, among others in dependence on the splitting-up yard requirements. This large-scale test is expected to prove that automation by means of data processing installations forms the basis of a quick, frictionless and rational transport service.
