RgZm
History
After the fall meeting of the FKTT (Freundeskreis TT-Module) at Roßwein 2006 once again the discussion about creating a magazine train describer was open up. The trigger was the now greatly increased traffic on the two-track mainline. As the bottleneck in the flow of traffic the report of trains by using telephone had been found, because one can not speak in the time ratio of 4:1 and thus a scheduled run of trains began to falter again and again.
In this context, the idea came up, to do the train number anncouncing by using a computer software. The conditions are met: Laptops nowadays stood at meetings on every corner, for viewing railway images or to print an invoice fastly. Taking a WiFi access point into operating, is also no longer rocket science. The only thing missing was a suitable software, and this was and is being developed in the project Cafebahn.
Task
The essential requirement of RgZm is a quick and intuitive operation of train announcing. Only then, the goal of increasing the necessary speed at train announcing can be achieved, because the announcing must be done with the scheduled time shortening at the time table. The RgZm should not intervene and control the operation, but only in addition provide a new communication channel to the telephone.
