Method of setting call times in railway radio-drive mode reliably prevents unwanted operational disturbances caused by different reaction times of the different types of track elements

摘要

The method involves calling up the track elements (BU1,W,BU2) or groups of track elements in a sequence defined according to their geographic arrangement along the track along which the train is travelling. If the call-up time (t5) for a track element (W) defined by its minimum call-up time (TW) is later than that (t4) of a geographically more distant track element (BU2), the track element with the shorter call-up time has an offset applied that causes the call-up time (t2) to be earlier than the call-up time (t4) for the track element with the longer call-up time.
