COMPUTER CALCULATION OF TYPICAL TRAIN RUNS AND APPLICATION OF SIGNAL POSITIONING FOR TRAIN HEADWAYS

Train movement simulation program permitting the elaboration (and plotting) of typical runs and the calculation of stopping distances and safety intervals. This program offers the possibility of optimizing the running speed for obtaining a given interval (at present with moving and variable block section) and a signal interpositioning (in the course of study-application to a signalling system adapted to the automatic pilot working of trains on the PARIS urban network).
