A '''Signalling System''' is responsible for controlling the movement of vehicles within The District of Joban.

In The District of Joban, there are 2 categories of signalling system: '''Core Signalling System''' (Applied throughout the entire server) and '''Signalling Overlay / Virtual Signalling System''' (Additional protection on top of the Core Signalling System).

=== Core Signalling System ===

==== M3 (MTR 3) ====
All types of vehicles (Train, Bus, Planes etc.) current employs the M3 signalling system, which is a fixed-block signalling system for MTR 3.x, and are applied throughout all routes in the server.

It has the capabilities of detecting train that are at most 1 section ahead, and provides interlocking functionality by signalling across multiple block sections.

=== Signalling Overlay / Virtual Signalling System ===

==== TDM (TrainDrivingModule) ====
'''TrainDrivingModule''' is a mod employed in The District of Joban, which provides additional protection and HMI during manual driving.

TDM provides a '''Target Speed''' and '''Maximum Speed''' for the train drivers to follow. The calculated speed limit always obeys the speed limit configured by the rail. (i.e. The target/max speed would drop ahead of time to ensure the train's speed are always lower than the rail speed). Follow-up action when these limits are broken can also be configured (e.g. Emergency Stop).

TDM can also display the remaining dwell time and path blockage via '''Bossbar''' and '''Action Bar'''.

It is selectively employed in some parts of Joban's railway network, such as the [[Joestu Line|KCR Joestu Line]].

=== Trainguard MC ===
'''Trainguard MC''' (TGMC) is an in-house signalling overlay developed by [[Rigel Railway]], it relies on the onboard computer on each installed train (via JS Scripting) to provide driving guidance. The concept of TGMC is based on the real-life [https://www.mobility.siemens.com/global/en/portfolio/rail-infrastructure/mass-transit/communications-based-train-control-system.html Trainguard MT] by Siemens.

It has the advantage of being easy to install and deploy-able across routes (Since it only involves installation in the train). However the complexity of it's HMI (Human Machine Interface) also means that retrofitting to other trains will require a substantial amount of effort.

TGMC use the concept of Moving Authority, in which the onboard computer would calculate a given point at which the train should stop at, and calculates the required target speed and max. speed based on the remaining distance.

As the signalling overlay is only applied client-side via JS Scripting, TGMC can only provide guidance and not any interference action, however it's HMI Interface is much more advanced than that of '''TDM''', and provides many other useful information.
