Design and development of a mesoscopic simulator specialized in investigating capacities of railway nodes
Authors: Roman Divi?, Antonín Kavi?ka
Abstract
To investigate capacities of railway stations and junctions, analytic methods or methods of computer simulations can be used. Analytic methods are slowly getting outdated. Classic microscopic simulations offer very good results but the life cycle of simulation studies is relatively long. Railway companies nowadays require a lot of traffic simulations, which are supposed to be carried out in shorter periods of time than are typically related to microscopic simulations. A simulation tool MesoRail, now in development, works on a mesoscopic level that abstracts away from some details affected by the microscopic simulations. An appropriate choice of the level of abstraction enables to achieve still very good results. At the same time, the tool simplifies the stage of building a simulation model. MesoRail tool is mainly specialized in investigating the capacities of railway stations and junctions, but it can also be used for studying other traffic problems concerning railway transport.
