1.1.7 Checking of Routes
This chapter contains the detailed back-ground knowledge and a step-by-step instruction about the
checking of routes during their creation with the Route Planning tool and before using them as the
System Route.
A necessary prerequisite for achieving the required safety in the use of the pre-planned track is that,
before being used, the route is carefully checked. This check should take place immediately after the
route has been created or changed, i.e. before storage, and it must be repeated each time after a route
has been reloaded from the memory.
A route which has not been checked by the program cannot be activated as the System Route.
During this check, the track lines and the radius based track curves must be subjected to a geometrical
check and a check against the electronic chart and the User Symbols (i.e. the user made chart
objects). These checks must take place one after another under program control. The geometrical check
is already done during editing, while the verification against the electronic chart and the user made chart
objects is done with the actual safety settings each time the check function is called by the operator.
The check against the electronic chart is started by clicking the Check button in the route- and
waypoint list (also called route window in this chapter). Before the start of the check against the elec-
tronic chart it is necessary to create the conditions for the execution of the check against the electronic
chart and the User Symbols; see chapter 1.1.7.2 on page C-29.
