running route overlap
• This level is required to fulfil the conditions of a proceed aspect even for non
equipped trains, so that the signal aspect designed for the route can be
signalised as required.
• RM driven trains will only be able to proceed if the signal shows the green
aspect and this aspect will only be given if the route itself is set and locked,
the flank protection is given, the route is completely clear and the overlap is
set, locked and clear
• In the example the train can enter the route with a speed of
25km/hr (RM). Additionally the reduced overlap (especially for RM
trains) has been set and can now be supervised in the start
signal. This start signal will show the green aspect (Restricted
Manual Mode).
• Route elements:
All route elements have to be set and locked.
• Route elements:
Additionally all of these elements have to be indicated clear.
• Flank protection elements:
Flank protection of all elements including the flank protection area
has to be available.
• Overlap:
The overlap elements have to be set and locked and the overlap
is supervised in the start signal aspect. (please also refer to the
overlap section of the route table).
• 5. Signal Aspect:
The green signal aspect will be shown for unequipped trains
Interlocking overlap
• For routes which can cover several trains moving along, the
interlocking overlap will be set in two steps:
• A short overlap behind the destination signal will be set with the
route. This is one condition for the RM proceed aspect (green).
The overlap will only be available if the complete route together
with the overlap is indicated clear
• The extended overlap for ATP guided trains will be set later with
an approach indication. The approach indication for setting the
extended interlocking overlap results from the 'track occupied'
indication of a designated track circuit.
This track circuit is located ahead of the destination signal in such
a time distance so that the extended overlap is available for the
train controlled by ATP for an optimal entry into the destination
track. If it is not possible to set an extended overlap the stopping
point is set before. The delayed overlap is performed for
operational reasons in order to permit crossing routes within the
extended overlap for a longer period of time.
• On principle, the short overlap (first section behind of the destination
signal) will always be requested at route setting. The ATP-overlap is
set with occupation of a designed approach section. For short
routes the extended overlap will be set immediately.
• Interlocking overlaps are provided according to the following rules:
• All running routes on the main lines include an interlocking overlap.
• For running routes from the mainline into the depots overlaps are
not provided.
• Running routes from the depots into the mainline include an
interlocking overlap.
• The testlines will be treated like running routes on the main line and
will include an overlap as well.
Release of overlap
• (a) by forward route setting: overlap shall be released
after the train passes over the point and the rear of the
train clears the track circuit of the overlap. If no route
controlling this overlap is set. In forward route setting,
the points are locked twice first locked by the overlap
and then by the forward route.
• (b) time release of overlaps: a timer is triggered when
the last track circuit of the route is occupied. When the
time set in the timer is elapsed, the overlap shall be
released if the track circuit associated with overlap is
clear.
Flank protection
1. Flank protection by
point
P r o t e c t io n b y d iv e r g e n t p o in t
• Flank protection for the
running route is guaranteed if
point T1 as well as point T2
is in the left position.
• In this case point T2
T2
becomes a protection point T1

• If the point T1 has to ensure flank protection for the points T2 and
T4 ,the point T1 becomes a double protection point.
Independent of the position of the double protection point it is not
possible to guarantee protection for both points in the running route.
Therefore the protection can only be guaranteed by the signal H1
with stop aspect behind the double protection point.
For other configurations, where signal H1 is not installed or flank
protection by signal shall not be granted , the flank protection could
be guaranteed also by the next point which is offering protection.
Flank protection area
• the elements between the element which is requesting flank protection and
the element which is granting flank protection are considered as the flank
protection area. In this example the point T1 would be checked to be clear.
• In the Figure the flank protection area consists of two points (T1 and T2)
that are commonly insulated.
under these circumstances it is sufficient to check only one of these
elements to be clear, because both of them will have the same occupation
information from the track circuit.

Approach section calculation
a p p r o a c h in d ic a t io n a r e a
• Calculation:
• The destination track is always designed as the approach section
for overlap time release. The default value for the release time is
always 30 seconds.
Even when breaking from max. speed a train can be stopped within
30 seconds without problems.
This default value can be designed if necessary.

• In the example in Figure the reversing track T10 is selected by an
operation. The following conditions have to be fulfilled for the entry
route (S1_S7):
• a. T3 is occupied;
b. No block against route setting for the route elements T5, P1, P4,
T10;
c. Points P1 and P4 not locked against throwing in left position;
d. The track circuits T5, P1, P4 and T10 (monitored track circuits)
are not claimed.
• This sequence mode can not be activated if the sequencing for the
reversal in T9 is already active. After a reversal time of 20 seconds
(T10 occupied and T8 clear) the exit route (S2_S4) will be initiated
with follow conditions:
• a. T10 is occupied;
b. No block against route setting for the route elements P4, P2, T6,
T4;
c. Point P2 not locked against throwing in right position and point P4
not locked against throwing in left position;
d. The track circuits P4, P2 and T6 (monitored track circuits) are not
claimed;
e. No opposing route set for T4, T2.
