Transfer of data from data-entry system to train routing system

Every day, at 6:00 and 22:00 hours, the data for all trains - including those unchanged since the previous version - is transferred from the train data preparation system (Zugdatenaufbereitung) to the real-time train routing system (Zuglenksystem).

When work requires a track to be out of service for just one day, or an extra train is to run on one day only, the corresponding data will usually be entered directly in the train routing system (Zuglenksystem). In this cases, it is not put in the train data preparation system (Zugdatenaufbereitung) first.
