Der Antrieb gilt erst dann wieder als nicht mehr belegt, wenn der nachfolgende Antrieb bei aktivem „Zutransport“ belegt wird und der abfördernde Antrieb selbst frei (alle Sensoren melden frei) ist. Bei belegten Antrieben muss der Zug immer von mindestens einem Sensor erfasst werden, sofern kein Abtransport zum nachfolgenden Antrieb aktiv ist.

I have a "fair" idea that "Stengel" may mean something to you; if that IS the case, one of these may help.
It looks to me like the first section of an "Achterbahn" ride, where the "abfördernder Antrieb" is the first one which gets hold of the car to tow it up the hill. Your term cannot by any stretch of the imagination refer to conventional railway - not one I've ever seen, anyway...
