Import Projects
In order to use the railway controller and the environment of the railway system two project projects must be imported. The projects are located in the git repository 17ss-railway in the folder code/Controller_SCTx and code/Environment. Both need to be imported in KIELER.
...
First go to Controller_SCTx → Properties. The properties window will pop up and in the left collumn column there is an entry KIELER Modeling Builder. Click on it and choose assets\BuildConfig.kibuild as the build file.
...
Go to the file 'EnvCont.kisim' for Windows users and 'EnvCont_Linux' for Linux users in the Environment project located in the assets folder. Right-click on it and choose 'Run as...' → 'KIELER Simulation'. In the 'Data Pool' view you can now enter the needed inputs and see the actual outputs. Additionally to this table the view will update and show the state of the railway system.
Firstly you should enter a train_setup. This indicates the track on which the trains are starting and it should be entered before the first tick. It is an array for eleven trains and if not all of them are used, leave the entry blank (0). Now the following inputs are interesting:
| destination[NUM_TRAINS] | The next destination for the specific train. This is supposed to be a station track but be aware that if the station track is occupied the train will take an alternative track. |
|---|---|
| random_mode | When enabled the trains will be given a destination automatically and drive around. |
| no_forced_destination[NUM_TRAINS] | If a train is in a station and not driving anywhere, it is possible that a different train is blocked. If this variable is set to true for the specific train, this train will not be forced to drive somewhere. |
