DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCESS COMPUTER CONTROL IN THE MASCHEN MARSHALLING YARD

Leonhard Euler

Abstract

The Maschen marshalling yard which, when completed in 1980, will be the largest and most modern in Europe is fitted with computers that will control all shunting operations. The article describes how the system works. It cuts down what staff have to do and means that train splitting and formation operations can be automated.
