An interactive cattle dock of 4 pens for the S&C.
The dock may be set up in Surveyor for loading or unloading.
For loading, set the 4 load queues' process rates and initial counts to non-zero and those of the unload queues to zero.
For unloading, set the 4 unload queues' process rates non-zero and initial counts to zero. Set all parameters of the load queues to zero.
To assist with correct AI servicing, a speed limit of <10mph is advisable through the dock area.
For the dorrect setup and use of this asset in conjunction with AI LOAD and UNLOAD commands please read the document
'readme_cattle docks' supplied in the asset folder. Note the requirement to terminate sidings with a buffer stop
and an invisible signal, such as <kuid2:45324:24010:1>, immediately in front of it.
When shunting a cattle dock yourself in DCC or CAB mode, your intention to load or unload is inferred.
Relative sizes of dock input and output queues are used to make the inference.
Before driving a consist into the dock for loading or unloading you must enable the dock.
CTRL + RHclick on the dock and LHclick on VIEW DETAILS, then toggle the 'Passive load/unload' control to 'enabled'.
Reset the control to 'disabled' after loading is completed.
With the control left at 'disabled' you may drive on the siding without causing unwanted attempts to load or unload.
