Abstract

From the long-term design of new infrastructure to the validation of timetables planners need accurate and reliable support tools that allow understanding the effect of their decisions. Microscopic simulation has gradually become widespread, since it allows considering not only the characteristics of infrastructure, signalling and rolling stock, but also human factors. In spite of this success and of the increasing quality of commercial simulation software, the setting up of a simulation requires time and accuracy to ensure that all elements are represented correctly.
