By means of the ‘‘Simulation Manager” individual operational
days can be simulated. If the nominal timetable still contains
conflicts, for example, the actual delays caused by
braking and restarting at red signals become visible. Temporary
track blocking is also possible. In the simulation, the timetable
can be simulated with rerouted trains. In order to test the
stability of a nominal timetable, a large number of operational
days can be provided with random disruptions. In multiplesimulation,
trains are then guided through the network by a
dispatching function according to their user-defined priority.
In this way, the delay to be expected for any train group can
be determined on the basis of the nominal timetable used in
simulation.
