Collision Avoidance functionality

The Track Management supports the Collision Avoidance functionality. Collision Avoidance works like a closed XTS system, but there are a few special features to consider.

Only one CA group is required for an XTS system. Under the CA group, there is a hidden domain management that manages the collision avoidance for the different track combinations. Each track is represented by a domain and the movers of this domain can avoid collision among themselves. This means that collision avoidance works exclusively on the basis of tracks.

If the movers travel on the same track, they recognize each other and can automatically avoid a collision. If the movers are on different tracks but on the same part, they will not recognize each other and may collide without manual control.

Track-based collision avoidance Currently, only a track-based collision avoidance calculation is available. A parts-based collision avoidance system is still under development.
