TrafficLight Junction

Post by RL Conroy »

Inspired by the Topic Traffic Lights! i Created a TrafficLight Junction that have Smart Programming! (And you can Apply it to any TL.)

Logic Train = Lev3 "Pegasus" MagLev Train

It Works like This:
When the Logic Train is at Release A it will Release the A Direction. :roll:
When the Program is over the Logic Train will move on and Stops Before 1.
This will Stop ALL Train Before the Junction so that the Logic Train can Drive on and Release the Other Direction.
If there are Still Trains in the Junction when the Signal has Changed they can Safely Cross the Junction.
When that is done the Logic Train will go to the Beginning and Start over.

Program of the Logic Train (Orders):
Go to Release A (And Stay there for x Days)
Go to Release B (And Stay there for x Days)
You can Put in the Days for the Logic Train how long it will Block.

How longer the Days the More Trains can Enter the Junction.

And when a Direction is Jammed (Don't think that that will happen...) the Trains will go to a Another Direction and Turns around there.
I putted the Reversed TwoWay PBS Signal at the Exits so that the Junction can't be Blocked when there is a Jam.

Any Comments are Appreciated :wink:

Yes i know it is Big (I shrinked it as much as Possible) but it was Worth trying.
(Have you looked at the Junction from the Topic Traffic Lights!? Well That Junction is Big)
But have you even Tried it? It Really works! :)
I was Working about a Month to get the TrafficLight Junction Working Perfectly!
And all about that; it was Just an Idea :wink:

No chance that is ever going in one of my games, I play a realistic style.

Okay that is Good. But is was just an Idea just like the ATJAS i Created.
I wanna Share my Ideas with TT-Forums.
Because i don't wanna keep it for myself.
I wanna Share my Ideas to Know what People Think about it.

Maybe a subsection in the wiki is an idea for those looking to solve complex problems. There already is a lot on junctions, just add a sub item "complex junctions signalling" or something like that and add your designs there.
