OUR SERVICES

RailSys is our modelling tool, and we are taking it to the next level!

RailSys

Accepted as the industry standard railway modelling tool in Australia, Europe, and many other countries and institutes around the globe
Developed and progressively upgraded by RMCon (Germany) since 1999.
Provides modules to model detailed infrastructure and Rollingstock characteristics
Allows implementation of realistic operational rules and standards
Provides comprehensive simulation module to assess network on-time performance based on passenger and incident delay perturbation models

Infrastructure and Signalling Modelling

In RailSys, the modelling of railway lines commences with the detailed modelling of infrastructure elements. Creating an accurate infrastructure model is essential for various critical tasks such as runtime calculations, headway assessments, and timetable development.

Timetable Planning

The creation of timetable models represents a pivotal outcome in operational modelling, shedding light on multiple facets of railway operations. This process begins with modelling rolling stock and train formations, followed by scheduling trains on the modelled lines and networks. RailSys calculates the runtime, making precise modelling of both infrastructure and rolling stock imperative for the accuracy and reliability of the timetable model.

Dynamic Simulations

Dynamic simulations in RailSys represent an advanced capability that not all modelers can execute with precision. The perturbation model must accurately mirror real network disruptions and performance levels to offer valuable insights through dynamic simulations.

Fleet/Stabling Planning

In addition to modelling rolling stock features in RailSys, fleet planning represents an advanced skill set aimed at calculating and evaluating fleet requirements. This encompasses tasks such as determining fleet counts, platform turnback, shunt and re-docking operations, and stabling planning, all of which yield critical outcomes.

RailSys Performance Evaluation Perturbation Models

Perturbation Models/ Performance Evaluation

The crux of achieving reliable results in dynamic simulations lies in the meticulous preparation of models and the careful adjustment of perturbation model elements. These tasks demand a deep understanding of railway line and network dynamics, familiarity with operational intricacies, and an appreciation of how incidents impact performance.

Rail Strategic Planning Network Operational Assessment

Strategic Planning and Network Operational Assessment

A comprehensive understanding of rail networks, encompassing their distinctive characteristics such as rolling stock, infrastructure elements, timetable structures, network constraints, operational bottlenecks, and interactions with other networks, lines, and corridors, is paramount for the successful development of a network-wide operational model.
