  1. CCR(COMPUTER CONTROLLED RAILROAD) A SeniorCapstone Project by Brice Hilgemann

  2. Project Description Design and implement interfaces for the CCR that campus visitors can use to control trains. General Requirements:    1. Allow PC control of the railroad    2. Consider multiple interfaces including:          a. PC (mouse/keyboard)          b. Mobile devices          c. Wireless devices     3. Interfaces must be easy to use    4. Provide visual feedback and log states    5. Develop a simplified operating system that handles multiple trains and prevents collisions

  3. Initial Thoughts/Strategy • Get familiar with hardware • Understanding previous code and methods • Utilize as much previous work as possible • Implement OS principles/strategy from CS370 • Asynch sockets over Pipes? • Monitors in C# • Dynamic and multi-user • Powerful and reliable • Time to diagram, document, and theorize

  4. My Implementation CLIENT CLIENT CLIENT • Server/Client Design • Server Functions • Communicate with ‘Blackbox’ • Adding Trains • Deleting Trains • Prevent Collisions • Client Functions • Connect to Server • Send requests to Server • Asynch Sockets! (Threading) Sockets SERVER Serial/USB RAILROAD

  5. Client Design In Practice: Diagram:

  6. Server Design • In Action: • Diagram:

  7. Current Work/Immediate Plan • Repair railroad segments • Perform other maintenance • Test out newer ‘Blackbox’ • Rewrite Kratz’s code to work in C# form • Move to newer DCC commands • Finalize acquisition of track and movement • Perfect blocking system • Implement regulation of train additions, deletions • Finalize protocol between Client and Server • Requests and train updates • Potential changes to Client Interface • Document and continue testing

  8. Assistance • Better representation of turnouts on client? • Ability to see full track layout on client? • Mobile device extensions? • More features? • Concerns? Questions?
