Synchronous railway simulation of shunting yards
Authors: Benno Hüttler, Jan Zazgornik, Manfred Gronalt
Abstract
Capacity analysis using simulation tools is an important factor to support strategic decisions in railway operation and infrastructure development. This work describes a railway simulation tool for shunting yards using a synchronous approach. Latter includes movement generation in simulation real-time and is essential for reduced set-up times, a flexible application for different yard layouts and various shunting strategies. An adequate network graph design was used for automatic routing decisions and methods for deadlock avoidance were implemented. The available approach results in an executable model to be validated with real data.
