What do you mean by "record its length"? ?

Subject: [jmriusers] Block occupancy without resistive wheelsets
Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 7:28 PM
To ensure the whole train is considered when assessing block occupancy by current sensors and not just the current drawing locomotive the standard solution is resistive wheelsets. However JMRI knows (with speed profiling) the speed of a train and can also record its length. Along with block length these values would allow a calculation of the block occupied by the end of the train. Would it therefore not be possible to show a block as occupied until the end of the train had left it? I can't find any information on this functionality within JMRI. Is this something that could be implemented on top of JMRI in (say) python or java? Anyone explored this? Any ideas?
