-each step, for every item in "oncoming", we need to determine the location to start braking (+ some safety margin)
+The LZB subsystem keeps track of "checkpoints" the train will pass in the future, and has two main tasks:
-and, if we passed this point for at least one of the items, initiate brake.
+1. run approach callbacks, and run callbacks when passing LZB checkpoints
-When speed has dropped below, say 3, decrease the margin to zero, so that trains actually stop at the signal IP.
+2. keep track of the permitted speed at checkpoints, and make sure that the train brakes accordingly
-The spd variable and travsht need to be updated on every aspect change. it's probably best to reset everything when any aspect changes
+To perform 2, it populates the train.path_speed table which is handled along with the path subsystem.
+This table is used in trainlogic.lua/train_step_b() and applied to the velocity calculations.
+
+Note: in contrast to node enter callbacks, which are called when the train passes the .5 index mark, LZB callbacks are executed on passing the .0 index mark!
+If an LZB checkpoint has speed 0, the train will still enter the node (the enter callback will be called), but will stop at the 0.9 index mark (for details, see SLOW_APPROACH in trainlogic.lua)
+
+The start point for the LZB traverser (and thus the first node that will receive an approach callback) is floor(train.index) + 1. This means, once the LZB checkpoint callback has fired,
+this path node will not receive any further approach callbacks for the same approach situation

+ - `{type="int", int=true, msg=<message>}`
-{type="int", int=true, msg=<message>}
-```
 	* Fired when an interrupt set by the `interrupt` function runs out. `<message>` is the message passed to the interrupt function.
 	* For backwards compatiblity reasons, `<message>` is also contained in an `event.message` variable.
 
- - ```lua
+ - `{type="ext_int", ext_int=true, message=<message>}`
-{type="ext_int", ext_int=true, message=<message>}
-```
 	* Fired when another node called `interrupt_pos` on this position. `message` is the message passed to the interrupt_pos function.

-##### Timetable Automation
+
+#### Interlocking
+This additional function is available when advtrains_interlocking is enabled:
+
+ - `atc_set_disable_ars(boolean)`
+	Disables (true) or enables (false) the use of ARS for this train. The train will not trigger ARS (automatic route setting) on signals then.
+	
+	Note: If you want to disable ARS from an approach callback, the call to `atc_set_disable_ars(true)` *must* happen during the approach callback, and may not be deferred to an interrupt(). Else the train might trigger an ARS before the interrupt fires.
+
+#### Approach callbacks
+The LuaATC interface provides a way to hook into the approach callback system, which is for example used in the TSR rails (provided by advtrains_interlocking) or the station tracks (provided by advtrains_lines). However, for compatibility reasons, this behavior needs to be explicitly enabled.
+
+Enabling the receiving of approach events works by setting a variable in the local environment of the ATC rail, by inserting the following code:
+
+```lua
+__approach_callback_mode = 1
+-- to receive approach callbacks only in arrow direction
+-- or alternatively
+__approach_callback_mode = 2
+-- to receive approach callbacks in both directions
+```
+
+The following event will be emitted when a train approaches:
+```lua
+{type="approach", approach=true, id="<train_id>"}
+```
+
+Please note these important considerations when using approach callbacks:
+
+ - Approach events might be generated multiple times for the same approaching train. If you are using atc_set_lzb_tsr(), you need to call this function on every run of the approach callback, even if you issued it before for the same train.
+ - A reference to the train is available while executing this event, so that functions such as atc_send() or atc_set_text_outside() can be called. On any consecutive interrupts, that reference will no longer be available until the train enters the track ("train" event)
+ - Unlike all other callbacks, approach callbacks are executed synchronous during the train step. This may cause unexpected side effects when performing certain actions (such as switching turnouts, setting signals/routes) from inside such a callback. I strongly encourage you to only run things that are absolutely necessary at this point in time, and defer anything else to an interrupt(). Be aware that certain things might trigger unexpected behavior.
+
+Operations that are safe to execute in approach callbacks:
+
+ - anything related only to the global environment (setting things in S)
+ - digiline_send()
+ - atc_set_text_*()
