The program begins to create a new project with the
‘‘Infrastructure Manager”. In this module the infrastructure
data can be entered, which means managing of tracks, signals
and all further relevant elements. All data is provided with an
accuracy of 1 m. For mapping the protection system (signal
and control systems), all important German protection systems
have been firmly installed. Moreover, Multiple-Aspect
Block Signaling and Moving Block, operation with absolute
braking distance, by which also running at sight can be
mapped. The infrastructure data can be managed in variants
within a project. This enables to keep an initial network and
planned variants in one project, in order to test later the effects
of the infrastructure changes on the timetable.
