Finnish term or phrase: valvotusti
Hello,

Does anyone have any advice as to how to translate the term "valvotusti" in these contexts (from a railway description)?

"Lukitusjärjestelmät ovat valvotusti junakulkutietä suojaavassa tilassa."

= "The locking systems are [??] in a mode protecting the train route."

"Vaihtokulkutien päättyessä opastimeen opastin ilmaisee opastetta valvotusti."

= "When the shunting route ends at a signaling device, the device displays a signal [??]"

Thanks

English translation:controllably
Explanation:
That sounds quite technical jargon / officialese ("The locking systems are in a mode that protects the train route controllably"), but that's what the term basically means.
