| There are many methods to implement Toti, and what method is appropriate depends the purpose for which it is required, and on which traction system is used (DC, DCC, or else) -- note: not all methods work with all traction methods. Detectors can use: mechanical switches; current detection (e.g. diode drop or coil); the transmission, reflection or interruption of light; magnetism; radio; ultrasound, or video. The method might give simple occupancy information, or more extended information including train identification (e.g. RFID, RailCom, Transponding, barcodes, Lissy, video etc.).
