			'''Enhanced Interlocking Tower''' assets are 3rd party scripted assets which extend the Interlocking Tower with some extra features. By doing some pre-processing before calling standard interlocking tower processing and doing some post-processing on return, these new assets enable the user to take the best from interlocking towers and to offer some enhanced functionalities by default or on option.

	By default, automatic path selection is called when an incoming train approaches an entry signal at about 0.5 mile. But since version 60 available from DLS in 02/2019, you can adjust (increase or decrease) this default distance bu using specific path trigger object ( <kuid2:61392:8121:1> ). When you place a path trigger object, automatic path selection will be called when the incoming train reaches the last path trigger object before the entry signal (the train needs to have the track already set in the correct direction to go to the entry signal). If the path trigger is reached before the standard 0.5 mile distance, automatic path selection will be done with an increased distance from the entry signal. If when the train arrives at the standard distance, the system find there is a path trigger between the train and the entry signal, automatic path selection will be delayed until the train reaches the path trigger, and automatic path selection will be done at a reduced distance from the entry signal. Path trigger works only with EIT and not at all with standard ITs.		By default, automatic path selection is called when an incoming train approaches an entry signal at about 0.5 mile.
