Abstract

In this paper the simulation in SW OpenTrack is used to analyze the ride of predefined trainsets on model of hypothetic infrastructure in order to find out what the track speed is effective in terms of shortening the driving time, traction energy consumption and other operational indicators. The next studied variable was the distance between two stops. The simulation results then provide recommendations for future modifications to the infrastructure.
