THE USE OF COMPUTER SIMULATION FOR THE SOLUTION OF TRACK DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS
Experiments in digital computer simulation of various track design and maintenance problems are described. The design of a symbolic model is illustrated by a complete case of computations carried out in order to determine track gauge deviations knowing the statistical dimensional parameters of its components. Further cases of a successful application of this technique are also quoted.
