Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Number of shared track segments between routes = 0
- Signal aspect dependency violation flag (0=none, 1=violation) = 0
Expected Result:
- Interlocking conflict indicator = 0
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Interlocking conflict indicator = 0 dimensionless.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
