AUTOMATED PLANNING OF TIMETABLES IN LARGE RAILWAY NETWORKS USING A MICROSCOPIC DATA BASIS AND RAILWAY SIMULATION TECHNIQUES
This paper provides an overview of the possible usage RailSys slot search engine developed by RMCon and IVE for railway timetables in a microscopic detailed infrastructure environment. In combination with the proven synchronous simulation, both techniques can be used and implemented in flexible planning and operational software systems for railway and train operating companies, ministries, regulator authorities and consulting companies. The parameters, algorithm and methodology provided by the paper demonstrate the quality and performance of the solution and indicate possible enhancements for the future. Based on the Dijkstra algorithm, the slot search engine is another example that feasible and well performing solutions can be developed within a reasonable time period.
