Simulation Manager
Synchronous simulation procedure
What does this mean? The positions of all trains in the network are calculated simultaneously. Its advantage is, that all trains run in interaction with the signalling system as they do in reality. This also takes into consideration the influence and interaction between other trains.
Integrated networkwide timetable simulation
If a conflict-free timetable has been created, the simulation of your scheduled timetable (single simulation) serves normally as a confirmation that everything is working fine. But sometimes there is so much traffic to be dealt with that some conflicts still remain. Simulation is the only possible way to see the degree of delay trains will receive. You can take that literally. Besides the output of the "speed distance graph" in the graphical timetable and diverse displays, you can watch all train movements in the "Simulation Manager" as well - live and animated in the network display. Afterwards you can load the simulation timetable and use this as the basis of further workings.
Integrated networkwide operational simulation
If you would like to know the characteristics that the average delays in your network will have, you may use the multiple simulations. Trains will be delayed according to your specifications. Delays can be applied where trains enter a sub-network, or at freely selectable stops on the line. Hereby, every operating day is different. The trains will even be rerouted to alternate tracks or the stopping times extended by an installed routing routine to minimize delays just as in reality. The multiple simulation emulates real train operations.
Integrated networkwide simulation statistic
No matter whether after single or multiple simulation: occupation levels and numbers of trains are displayed for every track in graphical and table form. This makes it an intelligent tool that can be used for identifying bottlenecks or less used infrastructure.
