signal-dependent detour movements
Explanation:
alternative: "signal-controlled detour movents" in case the detour is in fact being controlled by the signals (which will probably be the case).

Thanks Veronika, no I would not recommend "signalled" because normally there are also other ways to influence detours (see links and refs) - and "signalled" has a much broader meaning that these other ways are no longer clearly distinguished. If you don´t like "dependent" you could also say "signal-controlled". Best wishes!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for confirming "train detour movements". Would "signalled" for "signalmäßig" also be okay?
