Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1276085A1] The method is for determining a value characterizing blocking at an operating station for dispatching individual units, where the station operates in a stop-go mode whereby unit movement is stopped or units are allowed through. The values is determined used a detector for measuring the filling time between the beginning of a block or stop phase and the continuous loading of the detector and comparison with a reference filling time. The characteristic value is set at one value when the reference filling time is exceeded and another otherwise. <??>Independent claims are also made for methods for determining the filling time requirement and the backwash length.
