| based on the deviation count my interpretation Explanation: Given the sentence, my intepretation is that the track is assigned a unique number based on the deviation count, but this is not at all certain from the construction of the sentence, since it contains several mistakes in syntax with regard to antecedents of dependent clauses (and in general, long and/or complex sentences in English require very careful attention to syntax and punctuation in order to avoid ambiguity or possible mistaken meanings). |

| ... deviation count ... about deviation from schedule or route .... Explanation: It could well be that 'deviation' refers to the 'deviation route' See article on Human Reliability and Railway Safety: http://www.google.nl/search?q=cache:S3xVyJOUkWgJ:www.dnv.com... Articles mentioning deviation counter: http://www.railwaygazette.com/2003/038-nws7.asp "ACD is an intelligent microprocessor-based system, which uses GPS and angular deviation counters to identify the location of locomotives and brake vans. All ACD units have ..... , triggering automatic brake applications if two units are deemed to be at risk of collision." http://www.google.nl/search?q=cache:vL41IfaVwSsJ:www.indianr... "ACD works on a satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS) and AngularDeviation Count principle for identification of track lay out" A deviation count cold mean something like: identified deviation (of train/locomotive from (planned) route) or outcome of the identification of deviation (of train/locomotive from (planned) route) t.i. with the use formentionen technology Thus: having 1) a plan or schedule for the trains and 2) a deviation count you can: define the (actual) track and assign some kind of number or code to it (I guess for emergency purposes, see first ref.) But, please read al least the referred document You can obtain other sources by googling "train safety deviation". In this way these 2 sentences make some sense. To me anyway. |
