Abstract

Detailed yet computationally efficient simulation models are needed to support the design and operation of modern rail infrastructure systems. LIBROS-II is a model component library for microscopic rail operations simulation. Basic rail elements are modeled as atomic DEVS models which are further aggregated into more elaborate rail component models. The latter can in turn be used modularly for the composition of rail network systems of arbitrary complexity in a detailed, efficient, and rigorous way. This paper explains the communication principles in the model and gives an overview of vehicle detection and control system simulation. To enhance its usability, LIBROS-II is augmented with CRMB, a model generator capable of inferring structural and behavioral features of a rail network from standard CAD data.
