BlueDot10x10.png Junctions can be controlled by Session Rules during the running of a Session
BlueDot10x10.png The level of control includes:-
BlackDot10x10.png locking junctions (all or some) against user control
BlackDot10x10.png setting junctions according to decisions made by users

The following applications give examples of using Session Rules to control junctions.

Application 1: Presetting Junctions

When a consist reaches a trigger, the junctions ahead are set and configured (e.g. locked/unlocked, AI control allowed/disallowed)

Line  1 : Trigger Check The event is triggered when the consist reaches a trigger. This executes the following rule:-
Line  2 : Set Junctions Sets selected junctions to set directions and specifies the level of control by the users and AI

For example:-

Application 2: Asking the User to Set Junctions

Magnifier.png The Scenario:
A consist has been halted at a trigger placed in front of a junction. The user will be asked to set that junction and the following junction before the consist can proceed

DotPoint.JPG Navigation Display Rule to create a navigation point set
RulesWiki.PNG Rules Used:
DotPoint.JPG Wait on Navigation Point Rule to trigger the event
DotPoint.JPG Message Popup Rule to open a message window on the screen
DotPoint.JPG Multiple Junction Alignment Check Rule to test if specified junctions are set correctly

Explanation.PNG Description:
Line  1 : Wait on Navigation Point The event is triggered when the consist halts at the navigation point assigned to the trigger. This executes the following rules simultaneously:-
Line  2 : Message Popup Displays a message window asking that the next two junctions be manually set
Line  3 : Multiple Junction Alignment Check tests the switch directions of the next two junctions and waits until they are aligned as specified
