Disclosed embodiments provide a system and methodologies that enable or improve a train operator's ability to detect when his train will or has switched tracks or routes automatically in response to the train switching tracks or route without input from the train operator. Disclosed embodiments enable automatic determination of a route that the train is currently on and the route the train is supposed to switch to and the ability to predict track/route switches before they occur. Thus, the disclosed embodiments are configured to more effectively provide proper driving instructions through the track/route change, instead of merely reacting to the track/route change.

Parallel tracks design description

Disclosed embodiments provide a system and methodologies that provide an optimized train driving strategy using wayside signaling while conforming to the requirements of a wayside track safety system, e.g., the 'Automatic Train Protection' (ATP) System.
