Railway wagon automatic marshalling system - has auxiliary transporter for wagons on sorting track to save main transporter

摘要

The automatic marshalling yard ensures that the main transporter is used only where actually needed. The main transporter operates only in the actuating transporter area. The automatic system switches on the main transporter when a specified number of railway wagons are at the starting zone of the actuating transporter. The main transporter is switched off if the number of wagons is less than this number. This means that the main transporter operates only where the auxiliary transporter does not operate. The automatic marshalling system prepares the wagons on the sorting track and the wagons arrive into the reception zone of the sorting track. The auxiliary transporter operates in the reception zone and the main transporter operates in the actuating zone.
