control system discussion

Original text: Control is the way the rail network as a whole works safely while sharing the rail resources among consists.
Currently (10-2009) there is no such system in place.

Problem description

If rolling stock of multiple operators is allowed on a track, traffic control will be necessary. The block section type of control system should work, using llSay on a negative channel, phantom alpha detectors on the track, and signals for realism.

A larger problem is what to do about traffic in the opposite direction. Block Section control could work with a passing siding for each section. Which leads to...

Another problem - switches. If the Guide rail is used, then it could be turned and moved to divert a train, or line and branch Guides could be alternated between phantom and nonphysical as determined by routing. If a flat or phantom guide rail is used, names can be switched to change which rail is active.
