Operators control of railway model

Abstract

This article describes digital control of trains on a railway model and it implements option of monitoring and controlling of model from graphical interface by operator. Constituent components and their function, control system and its possibilities, a software applications needed for practical realization of assignment are described. On the base of knowledge of safe railway traffic [5] is created program which controls movement of trains, setting of train ways and signal-safe components on the model [7]. Next is described graphical interface which shows situation on railway and which allows to operator to set train ways and control movement of train. A new way of trains movement was created.
