    Bidirectional Optional Stopping System (BOSS)

    Faced with extreme spatial limits that only allowed for a single rail line, I engineered a "Single-Track Bidirectional Optional Stopping System" using native Redstone logic. It acts as a digital traffic controller to prevent head-on collisions on a shared track. It also allows approaching trains to dynamically choose whether to make a precise station stop or bypass it at high speed.

    In fact, We've built 7 versions of BOSS. The biggest improvement was established in the upgrade of generation 5 to 6. Specifically, that's a complete reconstruction of the sturcture.

    The structure of the first generation is the most complicated one.

    The detection unit operates in two stages: First, at 60 meters before the station, the train passes an initial sensor and drops a routing tag, which alerts the system to prime the detection circuit. Then, as it passes the second sensor at the 30-meter mark, the system reads the tag to finalize the command: stop or bypass.

    From the bottom view provided, you can see that the structure of version 6- 8 is much more simple than the previous versions. The most fundamental reason is that the detection logic has been streamlined from a two-step to a single-step process: entering the station with a "stopping" tag instantly triggers the halt.

    In the final version of this project, the detection logic has been changed to: Once the STOPPING TAG was received, the stopping system will be activated. The detection of TRAIN ENTERING THE STATION has been simplified.

    Fully Automatic Train Depot 4.0.7

    As the number of stations along the network expanded, we needed to develop a new type of depot capable of handling destination tag selections for 84 distinct stops. Therefore, we engineered the largest train depot on the server. It features an 84-station routing system, supports the dispatch of up to 16-car train formations, handles fully automated train retrieval and departure, and boasts a stunning exterior design.
