METHOD FOR ORIGINAL-TRUE, REALITY-CLOSE AUTOMATIC OR SEMIAUTOMATIC CONTROL OF RAIL-GUIDED TOYS, ESPECIALLY MODEL RAILROADS AND TRAINS DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC MOTORS, ARRAY FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD, TRACK, TRACK PARTS OR TURNOUTS USED IN SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an array for original-true, reality-close automatic or semiautomatic control of rail-guided toys, especially model railroads and model trains driven by electric motors. According to the invention, type or geometry-specifying, contactless readable storage modules (2) are mounted in or on each track, track part, buffer block, signal and/or turnout to be built, wherein each storage module (2) and each track has a continuous, non-repeating identification. The rolling material, preferably the locomotives, are provided with a storage reading device (4) and a (5) data transmission device for feedback. After the route has been traversed for the first time, the structure of the route is available in the form of an electronic representation and can be stored in a central storage (6). In case the route is subsequently traversed, the momentary position of the railroad or train can be determined by reading the storage module. The corresponding momentary position of the railroad or train can be detected by reading the storage module and providing feedback to the central storage or a central control system, wherein one or more machines are automatically controlled on the basis of presettable tasks for executing railroad operation taking into account information pertaining to the route and speed and special functions.
