EROILOR
NICOLAE GRIGORESCU 1
3. Maneuvers at a station
Open to see details about how to move your train within a station with switches or rolling back
There are multiple ways when you have to deviate to a different line. We’ll go trough the 2 most usual scenarios when reaching a terminal station.
When arriving at a station with a diamond switch after it, the train will deviate to the other line (Fig. 1a). In the situation where the other line is occupied, you will have to wait until the other line is clear. In most cases, like Preciziei (M3), going straight will lead you to a depot, or at Republica (M1), to Pantelimon. For Pipera or Aparatorii Patriei, you can use any of these lines. (Fig.3a)
When arriving at a station with a diamond switch before, the train will deviate to the other line (Fig. 2a and 3a). In the situation where the other line is occupied, you will not deviate, and go straight (Fig. 2b and 3b). You will find this situation at Dristor 2 (M4), 1 Mai (M4), or at Anghel Saligny where you invert the procedure (M3).
Change time should take no less than 1-2 minutes, and stationary time in the station less than 5 minutes, if the line ahead is clear.
4. Signaling
Open to see details about signal indications
Signals are another important part of MM. It is to ensure that Traffic can go smooth, and with no derail issues.
ATTENTION: THIS FEATURE IS STILL UNDER HEAVY WORK. THE FOLLOWING INFOR ARE ADVISED IF SOME LOCATIONS HAVE SIGNALLING.
Currently the Signaling system is in a continuous change, in order to respect the real system.
M1, M2 and M3 are equipped with ATP, dedicated to BM2/21
The system continuously checks the train’s speed if its in the permitted range, and can automatically stop the train in case of a signal block being occupied by someone else.
The Aspects for ATP Equipped Trains are:
-
Clear:
White Lunar and Red (RED+ATP)
-
Occupied:
Red Only (RED)
Since BM1 don’t have ATP Equipment, they are running on the default Signalling aspect set, with no ATP Safety at all.
The Aspects are:
-
Clear:
Green Only (GREEN)
-
Deviation:
Yellow Only (YELLOW)
-
Occupied
Red Only (RED)
ATTENTION: IF AHEAD IS RED+ATP, TRAINS NOT EQUIPED WITH ATP CANNOT GO FURTHER.(Currenlty ignore this rules as we do not have the code to stop anyone)
Visual Signaling:
Depots are just White Lunar.
Exception goes to visual signaling:
5. Indicators and others
Open to see details about signs or indicators
WIP
In Metro Mania, there are Signs and limts that must be respected in order for traffic flow to be alright.
I - SPEED INDICATORS
- 1.1 Speed Reduction Indicator
The indicator shows the speed limits, i.e. the portions of the line where the traffic speeds are permanently limited, due to curves, slopes or other causes and indicates the point where the driver must take measures to reduce the speed of the train, at the speed written on the indicator.
- 1.2 Speed indicator
The Maximum Speed in the network is 80 Km/h, but not all zones can cary that much.
Speed limits imply that ahead is required to wither slow down, or to accelerate.
These are advised:
-when deviating from one line to another, speed limit is 20-30km/h
-when maneuvering in depots, sidings, 5/15 km/h
II - MANEUVERING LIMITS
- 2.1 Maneuver Limit of the train
The “Maneuver Limit” indicator shows the place where a train can exit, in order to perform maneuvering movements.
The indicator consists of a rectangular plate of white color, with three horizontal blue stripes on both sides and is placed at a distance of 150m from the input / output signal, or at the same distance from the platform boundary ,or from a junction/diamond/switch or the limit of the track circuit if it is not mounted at the head of the platform.
Advised to limit your speed to 60km/h when passing them if approaching a station. If your speed limit is under 60, no need to rise to that.
- 2.2 Restriction Limit for IVAs
This Sign indicates that ahead there is no more signaling safety for the IVA Type trains, moving beyond this sign will lead to the deletion of the respective train.
Optionally, there can be an arrow sign indicating in what direction there is no safety.
Restricted Areas:
M2: C. Brancoveanu - Aviatorilor
M6: Pajura - Aeroport Otopeni
The Epochal and Classic IVA Pack allows you to go on the entire M1 (still until REPUBLICA, start from pantelimon for the entire route)
- 2.3 Indicator of the fixed stop/end of the line
This indicator shows the location where the line ends, ordering a full stop without passing it.
The indicator for the fixed stop consists of a rectangular panel where a red slot, where is mounted on the fixed stop of the end line in a station, depot, siding, or rebrusment, over the axe of the track.
Indicator of the fixed stop/end of the line
The indicator is preceded, by a signal in which its indication warns that the next indicator is ordering a full stop and imposing the lowering of the speed in order to assure a safe stop
- 2.4 Safety Mark
The safety mark limits the place where vehicles can stay on a track, without endangering those traveling on the neighboring track, or would affect their free passage gauge.
The safety mark consists of a concrete block or a rail painted white.
III. SIGNAL SIGNS
- 3.1 Warning indicator of the signals
The indicator, placed in the direction of travel, a signal, warning the driver that has to take action to stop the train next to the signal in the case it orders a full stop, or to reduce speed if the signal indicates deviation from the current line.
The indicator is formed of a rectangular plate, with a yellow background, red borders and a red diagonal, going from left up to down right
The indicator is placed approx.. 150m before the signal.
IV. MOBILE INDICATORS
- 4.1 Indicators for weak track portion
To indicate the portions of weak tracks where speed restrictions are placed, the following mobile indicators are placed between the tracks:
(1) A square palette with a yellow background with the required speed in black, and a green palette, with white borders, placed behind it. This indicator is placed 120-150m before the restriction
(2) A square palette with a yellow background and black borders and cut diagonals, in the middle is the speed restriction in black. This indicator is placed right before the start of the weak tracks.
(3) A square palette, with a green background and white borders, indicating the return to the original speed limit. This indicator is placed 120-150m after the weak track portion.
- 4.2 Coverage of the weak track portions
The Mobile indicators to cover the weak tack portions, which impose speed restrictions in the current track or within the stations, are placed between the rails of the track, in the same way, both for traffic in the normal direction of traffic and for the opposite direction, as follows:
In the case of double , or multiple tracks, these indicators are mounted for each track with the weak portion, on both directions, as the image above presents.
In the case of multiple weak portions, with different speed restrictions, the indications for these are done with one speed restriction, along the length of both sections of weak portions, with the lowest speed.
V. STATION CLOCKS
There are two types found in the network:
- Global Clock: Indicates the local time, a literal clock.
- Last Departure Clock: Indicates the amount of time it passed since the last train departed/went trough the station.
Old Type:
Found on M1/3, M2
- Global Clock is shown in red, showing the hour and minute marks
- Last Departure Clock is shown in green, limited to 10 minutes, after that is locked to 0:00
