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.

...and what if an actual human wants to use the line rather than "controlled" rolling stock? And, why is a VRC meeting being used to dictate such things, the so-called "Community meeting". I do not recall an announcement on the Second Life blog, forums or anywhere else for a community meeting. The community is more than the VRC, which remains a private group. The SLRR is a resource for all members, not a private group. I see this arrogant disregard for residents outside of the VCR continues, which doesn't surprise me.Yevad Doobie 22:21, 12 June 2011 (PDT)
