HELIOS
Shuttle operation
The shuttle service is run fully automatically:
After a stop (at a terminus or intermediate stop), HELIOS sets the
points.
HELIOS controls the locomotives´ accelaration depending on the
individual settings.
On open track, HELIOS limits the locomotives´ speed according to
the individually set maximum speed.
As soon as an integrated occupancy sensor detects a locomotive
driving into a section with a station or an intermediate stop, HELIOS
starts braking the locomotive.
HELIOS makes the locomotives stop for the set time at stations or
intermediate stops.
The procedure varies depending on the version, the number of
locomotives on the shuttle line and the starting positions of the
locomotives. Basically the following applies:
When operating 2 locomotives which start from the two tracks of
one terminus, the two locomotives shuttle one after the other
between start and destination station. A possibly existing second
track at the destination station will not be used.
When operating shuttle lines with intermediate stops and at least 2
locomotives starting from the two terminus stations, the first
locomotive reaching the intermediate stop waits for driving on until the
oncoming (second) locomotive has reached the second track of the
intermediate stop. If neccesary, the set hold time will be exceeded.
Further information on operation → section 6.1.
