Distributed Real-time Railway Simulator

چکیده
The problem of control and management of railway transportation is a complex task with major outcomes in a modern society. Trains are suitable for transporting peoples and goods with a good trade-off between cost and rapidity. A railway system consists of a network of tracks, list of stations, safety devices (signals, sensors, etc) and a set of trains. Trains moves from one station to other along the network. Distributed applications are applicable in case of large systems.

Computer-based decision support for handling uncertainty in railway traffic and transportation
Railway transportation has great potential, but interdependencies in the railway traffic make trains very sensitive to disturbances, which can be difficult to handle. Using railway in an intermodal transport chain may complicate the interconnections with other modes if there is large uncertainty in the performance of the railway. A study based on interviews with several customers of the Swedish...
متن کاملScaling, Modeling and Traffic Control of a Real Railway Network using Max-plus Algebra and Model Predictive Control
Delay time recovery can increase the efficiency of the railway network and increase the attractiveness of railway transport against other transportation systems. This article presents a new dynamical model of railway system. The proposed model is a discrete event systems that is defined based on the deviation of travel time and deviation of stop time of trains. Due to the existence of multiple ...
متن کاملDistributed constraint satisfaction problems to model railway scheduling problems
Railway Scheduling is considered to be a difficult and time-consuming task. Despite real railway networks being modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), they require a huge number of variables and constraints. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, distributed models may reduce the exponential complexity by dividing the problem into a set of subproblems. In this work, ...

متن کاملModels for Distributed Real-Time Simulation in a Vehicle Co-Simulator Setup
A car model in Modelica has been developed to be used in a new setup for distributed real-time simulation where a moving base car simulator is connected with a real car in a chassis dynamometer via a 500m fiber optic communication link. The new co-simulator set-up can be used in a number of configurations where hardware in the loop can be interchanged with software in the loop. The models prese...
