Railway Simulation with the CASSANDRA Simulation System
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a railway system simulation to be used by train railway system operators. We have developed a learning tool for education, but, besides, different railway system models can be analyzed. Wedonot need to build the physical railway model, but may experiment with the planned system on the computer. The modeled system can be built easily and effectively and its behaviour may be analyzed. The next advantage is that railway experts can use this system for designing new systems.

Iranian Railway System Performance Analysis Using Computer Simulation and Data Envelopment Analysis Methods
In this paper, a discrete event simulation model of Iranian railway system is used for analyzing performance of the system in freight sector. The model analysis shows more sensitivity of the system on loading and unloading facilities than on number of wagons and locomotives. System optimization through simulation optimization technique, shows that more than 4% of all wagons available in the n...
متن کاملSimulation of container operations in the marshaling yard – case study: Aprin station
In this project, an attempt has been made to investigate the loading/unloading operations for container loads on a at the Aprin station with a simulation approach. Simulation is an approximate imitation of the operation of a process or system whose performance is examined over time. In this study, Aprin station was selected as the largest railway station for container transport in Iran. To find...
متن کاملTrain Scheduling Problem - Phase I: A General Simulation Modeling Framework
One of the important problems in management of railway systems is train scheduling problem. This is the problem of determining a timetable for a set of trains that do not violate infrastructure capacities and satisfies some operational constraints. In this study, a feasible timetable generator framework for stochastic simulation modeling is developed. The objective is to obtain a feasible tr...
متن کاملPreliminary results on multi-body dynamic simulation of a new test rig for wheel-rail contact
The ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (RCF) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. In this paper, a multi-body dynamics (MBD) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. The new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...
متن کاملSimulation of Metro Train Fire in an Underground Station of Tehran Metro Line 7
In this research a fire scenario was simulated in one of the stations of the line 7 of Tehran's subway system. The Line 7 is under construction and the ventilation system is under design. Fire was set for a stopping metro train at the platform of the station. A 160 meter length eight-car metro train with the forth wagon on the fire was studied. The heat release rate is based on a quadratic f...
