Late Breaking Results: Iterative Design Automation for Train Control with Hybrid Train Detection

To increase the capacity of existing railway infras-tructure, the European Train Control System (ETCS) allows the introduction of virtual subsections. As of today, the planning of such systems is mainly done by hand. Previous design automation methods suffer from long runtimes in certain instances. However, late breaking results show that these methods can highly benefit from an iterative approach. An initial implementation of the resulting method is available in open-source as part of the Munich Train Control Toolkit at https://github.com/cda-tum/rntct.
