SIMSHUNT ? A Fast Simulation Tool for Capacity Analysis of Shunting Yards
Authors: Benno Hüttler, Manfred Gronalt, Jan Zazgornik
Abstract
For capacity analysis of shunting yards a tool for fast and solid evaluation of changes in car flow characteristics and rail infrastructure is needed. Current available simulation tools do not allow a strategic network wide view, due to their highly detailed data requirements. This paper introduces SimShunt, whose goal is to develop a new simulation tool for shunting yards that is fairly easy to handle and possible to use for different yards with short set up times. A combined simulation and optimization approach is used.
