Traversing Blocks too quick or too slow - Dispatcher vs Warrants

 

I know with Warrants, it can take action if an autotrain is not traversing blocks at the appropriate duration (described in the doco as...)
Warrant dynamic speed profiling, measurements are made over straight level track, but also upgrade, down grade, curved gently or severely, running light or pulling 30+ cars. The track speeds are not going to be all the same for a given throttle setting When merging, new values are averaged with the old, with the intention of a composite speed profile that reflects average use.
Does Dispatcher have such functionality or an equivalent?

I've since had a perusal of the dispatcher java code but couldn't see the same processing.
I believe Warrants take a somewhat different approach to running an autotrain. A Warrant script defines the expected time from starting to when it enters each block. That gives JMRI a basis to calculate the elapsed time and thus the actual speed to determine if the speed profile needs adjusting.
