AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR TRAIN RUNNING

AUTOMATISCHE DISPOSITION BEI DER STEUERUNG DES ZUGBETRIEBES

Real-time computerisation facilitates the centralised control of train-running and appreciably reduces the workload of traffic control staff. After analysing the traffic flow process, the author presents and explains various concepts on the subject. Such concepts as punctual or linear arrangements are discussed in detail. An initial software element covering linear arrangements (arrangements over a line) is presented by way of example. As an experiment involving the Hanover cybernetics complex, a process computer supplying the arrangements for a 120 km railway line (Hanover-Bremen), presented arrangements corresponding in 80-90% of cases to the decisions of the line dispatcher.
