What is OpenTrack Railway Simulation?

Simulation of Railway Networks OpenTrack allows to model, simulate and analyze the following types of rail systems:

High speed rail Heavy rail / Intercity rail Commuter rail systems Heavy haul freight Mining railway systems Metro / Subway / Underground systems Light rail (LRT) Tram / Streetcar systems People mover systems Rack railways / Mountain railways Maglev (magnetic levitation) systems (e.g. Transrapid)

OpenTrack supports the following kinds of tasks:

Determining the requirements for a railway network’s infrastructure Analyzing the capacity of lines and stations Calculation of minimum headways (headway calculation), e.g. using the OpenTrack tool Headway Calculator Rolling stock studies (for example, future requirements) Running time calculation Timetable construction; analyzing the robustness of timetables (single or multiple simulation runs, Monte-Carlo simulation) Evaluating and designing various signaling systems, such as discrete block systems, short blocks, moving blocks, LZB, CBTC (communication-based train control), ATP, ATO, ETCS Level 1, ETCS Level 2, ETCS Hybrid Level 3, ETCS Level 3 (see also: ERTMS), PTC (Positive Train Control) Analyzing the effects of system failures (such as infrastructure or train failures) and delays Calculation of power and energy consumption of train services Simulation of railway power supply systems (using OpenPowerNet)
