+ | ==== Automatic selection of destinations ==== | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Overview ===== | ||
+ | The **Table block and train types** shows which combination of block type and train type is a preferred destination and which is an alternative destination. It also shows when Rocrail will use the wait option defined in the destination block, when a wait is forced and when a wait is overruled. | ||

+ | **Table key** | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Green: this combination is a best destination.\\ | ||

+ | ===== Details ===== | ||
+ | ==== Block Types ==== | ||
+ | In addition to the train types mentioned below the type //all// obeys the wait settings in all kind of block. For trains of the types //all// and //cleaning car// all kinds of blocks are a preferred destination provided that the //same// train was //not// the last train entering this block. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Others === | ||
+ | A universal type of block and the default in Rocrail. As a specific feature type **// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Local === | ||
+ | E. g., for secondary lines and their stations and smaller stations used by local trains. For trains of the types //local// and //mixed// this block is a preferential destination. Trains of the types //local, mixed, light// and // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Intercity === | ||
+ | E. g., for main lines used by intercity trains and other fast passenger trains and for dedicated rails in bigger central stations with platforms used by these kinds of trains only. This type of block is a preferred destination for trains of the same type only. Trains of this type and, in addition, of the type // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Freight === | ||
+ | E. g., for freight railways, freight yards and lines which are used by passenger trains occasionally. For trains of the types //freight// and //mixed// this type of block is a preferred destination. Trains of the types //freight, mixed// and //light freight// obey the waiting settings of the block. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Shunting === | ||
+ | Especially for shunting yards and sidings. A preferred destination for trains of the type //other// only. Only trains of this type obey the waiting settings of the block. As a specific feature of this type of block trains are allowed to enter even if the block is electrically occupied. Special care must be taken to avoid the risk of accidents! \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Turntable === | ||
+ | As a special feature the block is a preferred destination for all types of trains provided that the //same// train was //not// the last train entering this block. In addition, all types of trains are //forced// to wait in the block. Independent of the selected block type the block receives the type turntable if a turntable ID is given. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Regional === | ||
+ | E.g., for lines with regional passenger traffic and for smaller central stations with few rails and platforms which are shared by local trains, commuter trains and express trains. This block is a preferred destination for trains of the same type. Trains of the types //local, intercity, light// and // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Light === | ||
+ | For light railways and stations of light railways. Only trains of the same type regard this block as a preferred destination. The wait settings of the block are obeyed by both trains of the type //local// and //light//. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Light freight === | ||
+ | E.g., for light railways with a predominant freight transportation and for freight yards of light railways. Only trains of the same type regard this block as a preferred destination. The wait settings of the block are obeyed by both trains of the type //freight// and //light freight//. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Post === | ||
+ | For special rails and platforms used by specific trains as for example railway mail service. A preferred destinations for trains of the same type only. The wait settings are also obeyed by trains of the same type only. \\ | ||

+ | === Freight === | ||
+ | | Server type=goods | | ||
+ | Blocks of the type //freight// are preferred by this type of trains. Here and, in addition, in blocks of the type //light freight// the waiting settings of the block are obeyed. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Local === | ||
+ | | Server type=local((until Rev. 13.308 " | ||
+ | Used for, as an example, commuter trains and local trains on main and secondary lines which are expected to stop at flag stops, stations of light railways and main stations. Blocks of the same type are a preferred destination. Here and, in addition, in blocks of the types // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Mixed === | ||
+ | | Server type=mixed | | ||
+ | Blocks of the types //local// and //freight// are preferred destinations. The wait settings are obeyed in both //local// and //freight// blocks. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Cleaning === | ||
+ | This train type is accepted by all blocks and permits driving on and with it the cleaning of all blocks, as long as these are not occupied. As a specific feature of the cleaning car all block types are regarded as a preferential destination, | ||
+ | If possible the wait settings of blocks are disregarded. This train kind is suitable especially for motor cleaning cars (rail vacuum cleaner etc.) which should finish their job within very short time. \\ | ||

+ | === All === | ||

+ | === Intercity === | ||
+ | | Server type=ice | | ||
+ | Used for, as an example, fast long-distance trains like intercity which should stop only in bigger (main) stations. Blocks of the same type are a preferential destination. Here and, in addition, in blocks of the type // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Post === | ||
+ | | Server type=post | | ||
+ | For railway mail services or other special trains which typically stop at certain places only, e.g., within a railway station. Blocks of the same type are regarded as a preferred destination. There the wait settings of the block are also obeyed. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Light === | ||
+ | | Server type=light | | ||
+ | For the stopping trains which usually operate on light railways. Blocks of the same type are regarded as a preferred destination. Here and, in addition, in blocks of the types //local// and // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Light Freight === | ||
+ | | Server type=lightgoods | | ||
+ | Used for freight trains operating on light railways for example. Blocks of the same type are preferred destinations. The wait settings are obeyed in blocks of the types //light freight// and // | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Regional === | ||
+ | | Server type=local | | ||
+ | Used for, as an example, passenger trains in a regional transport system. Blocks of the same type are preferred destinations. Here and, in addition, in blocks of the types //local// and // | ||
