SYSTEMS SIMULATION STUDIES

The report describes a computer program developed to simulate the operation of a high speed ground transportation mode within the U. S. Northeast Corridor. The program utilizes the TRANSIM user language for the simulation in conjunction with an output processor program written specifically to improve the basic TRANSIM output format. This conversion allows quicker accessibility to critical analysis variables. As a demonstration of the program, a simulation was performed of a 150-mph new rail facility within the Northeast Corridor. The results of this simulation and the documentation of the program are included. (Author)
