Digital Automation of Model Trains - Märklin H0

Digital automation of model trains, as shown in the video, is based on precise calculations and data to enable realistic and efficient train control. 100 km/h in nature is 31.9 cm/s on an H0 scale layout.
The maximum speed of each train is limited by several factors, including the maximum speed of the locomotive, the permitted speed on the section of track and the distance to the nearest red signal.
Virtual signals on station tracks and other locations control train traffic. Physical placement of signals is not necessary as they work virtually. Red signals stop the train at a set distance, and the tolerance is +- 10cm.
Each train follows a simple timetable with details of the destination track and possible stop times. The trains start when the track to the next destination track is clear and the automation ensures that they act according to the timetable.

Mi piace il video 👍👍

Nice job. What software are you using?
How does it know where the trains are? Contact tracks?

[@mymarklinh0]

You are right, synchronization is done with contact tracks. If you look closely, you will see in the last minute of the video the triangles that turn green when the train arrives. Sometimes the train is late (the visualization stops), other times it is too fast (the visualization skips).
I made the PC program myself and am still improving it.
Thank you for the compliment.

@@mymarklinh0Hallo kann das PC-Programm erwerben

[@mymarklinh0]

Mein PC-Modelleisenbahn-Steuerungsprogramm ist noch nicht für den breiteren Einsatz bereit, aber ich arbeite daran. Ich muss zusätzliche Funktionalitäten und bessere Benutzeroberflächen für die Eingabe von Daten zu Gleisen und Weichen vorbereiten. Die größte Herausforderung für mich ist nun „Manuelle Steuerung mit Computersteuerung“. Das Feature richtet sich an Kinder, die kein Interesse an Vollautomatisierung haben...
Wenn die erste Version des Programms fertig ist, werde ich ein Präsentationsvideo vorbereiten.
Grüße, Borut
