Self-setting

The articles self- control and train control overlap thematically. Help me to better differentiate or merge the articles (→  instructions ) .

The self- setting operation (SB) is a railway technical facility in track diagram signal boxes and is implemented as a function in electronic signal boxes. Depending on the design, the self-setting mode allows a partially or fully automatic sequence of train operations , possibly even without the constant involvement of a dispatcher .

One distinguishes

• Self-setting mode with permanent setting and
• Self- setting operation with train number control , including train control .

The self- setting mode with permanent setting allows the train-controlled setting of a route from a track on the free line to a specific station track or from a station track to the free line. As a rule, only the continuous main tracks of a train station are included in the self-service operation. When the self- setting mode is switched on, the occupancy of the block route registered by the track vacancy detection system before the entry signal causes the automatic entry into the entry road . Possibly. takes place afterwards, e.g. B. for a passing train, also the automatic entry of the exit road .

In self- setting operation with train number control , also called train steering , a direction code prefixed to the train number or, in the case of newer systems, the train number itself via the train number reporting system causes the routes for the train to be automatically set in the direction of travel specified for it or on a specific track. The train routing system is mainly used in interlockings with a large control area, especially in systems remotely controlled from control centers, but also in large interlocking interlockings that also remotely control the adjacent branch points and smaller train stations.

Self-setting operation can shorten system runtimes and increase traffic performance.
