The Hardwarecontrol should give an abstraction for controlling the Hardware which also makes sure some of the base rules apply.Tasks/Rules the Hardwarecontrol should manage:
Features
- train tracking
- block locking/crash avoidance
- speed control: slow down(/speed up?)/parking in a segment
- same speed policy (same speed on all tracks beneath a train)
- automatic signal management
- automatic point branching
...
Interacting parts
The track is split up into the track into following smaller interacting parts to achive this:
...
:
1 Track, 2 Points, has 1 incoming, 2 outgoing and 1 bi-directional track where outgoing trains come from the main track and incoming go to the side track
| Segment | 1 Track, 2 Contacts, 1 Signal |

The differenciation of bi-directional and uni-directional Elements is done to have simpler Parts for the unidirectional parts.
