railways, hazard analysis
Das Erlauben von Folgefahrten stützt sich auf die Zielsignal-Haltprüfung, welche die **Fahrt- und Haltstellung des Zielsignals** überwacht. Eine vorzeitige Zulassung einer Folgefahrt kann im Fehlerfall nur dann erteilt werden, wenn der überwachte Signalbegriff verfälscht ist.
Zielsignal = destination signal
überwachen = monitor
Signalfahrtstellung = clearing a signal
Signalhaltstellung = setting a signal to stop
Signal in Haltstellung = Signal at danger, stop signal, closed position
Signal in Fahrtstellung = line-clear signal
"To monitor the clearing of a signal and its setting to stop" -> this does not sound English at all
Any ideas for improvement?
TIA

Meaning:
Nighttime aspect:
Expect Stop (Halt erwarten (Vr 0))
Stop at next signal or buffer.
Absolute Stop (Halt (Hp 0))
All movements must stop short of the signal.
Expect Track Clear (Fahrt erwarten (Vr 1))
Proceed and keep normal speed.
Track Clear (Fahrt (Hp 1))
Proceed and reach normal speed.

to monitor the status of signal aspects
I'd keep it simple: to monitor the status of signal aspects
On a different note:
Zielsignal = target signal (I don't think destination signal is correct)
You could also include "halt" (or "stop") and "clear" (or "proceed) signal aspect, but I don't think it's necessary...

Note from asker:
| Thank you, I haven't considered "aspect" so far. My text also includes the "Wiederfahrtstellung", so I opted for being more explicit. Any ideas on http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/transport_transportation_shipping/3439408-wiederfahrtstellung.html ? |

monitor stop and go setting of a signal
this is my spontaneous version

Think of a traffic light, where red means "stop" and green "go"!

| Vielen Dank. "Stop and go" war auch meine erste Spontanversion, aber in Referenztesten fand ich dann nur "proceed" und "line-clear" für "Fahrt"... |

monitor the open and closed positions of a signal
UIC Railway Dictionary - Fahrtstellung: open position (signal)
My dictionary doesn't include Haltstellung, so 'closed position' is just a guess.

to monitor the signal clear and stop positions
alternative
to monitor the signal clear and stop aspects
see explanations in
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/transport_transp...
Clear
a) in terms of a Track Circuit (CT) or Block Section, it is the opposite of occupied
e) To Clear a Signal is to change its Aspect from its Most Restrictive Aspect to a less restrictive aspect. See Clear Aspect.
Clear Aspect
A Colour Light Signal displaying a Green light, or a Semaphore Signal in the Off position.
Stop Signal
A Signal capable of showing a Stop Aspect. Thus also applied to any Signal actually showing a Stop Aspect at that time.

Discussion
to monitor the "proceed" and "stop" positions of a signal
Cf. http://www.railpage.org.au/ausrail/99march/msg02128.html
Fahrt zeigendes Signal = proceed signal
Halt zeigendes Signal = stop signal
("Stellung" can mean both "setting" and "position")
