Figure 6: Possession of Track 5 on Ljubljana station [2]
The alternative routes that have been defined at timetable construction are also assigned priorities. In
case of track possession the tool takes the alternative based on the priority list. The priorities are
assigned respectively for different types of trains as well as train directions (O-D). To give an example:
priority of station routes is set differently for passenger train arriving from Kranj (origin) to Ljubljana
station (destination) to the same passenger train type arriving to Ljubljana from Postojna direction –
we have different origins.
4.5 Simulation of station track possession
Intention of the user is to simulate train operations at the stations in case of track possessions. The
user needs to find alternative station routes to bring the train to the station where some tracks are
closed. Simulation can start after track possessions as well as alternative routes’ priorities have been
defined.
Track possession simulation can be analysed in graphs and tables:
- track occupation diagram,
- timetable chart showing delays of train paths,
- tabular timetable showing calculated delays
- inspection of train delays propagated on track layout
- delay analysis of train types
- calculation of total propulsion energy before and after track possession.
In the following some interesting results of track 5 possession simulation at Ljubljana station will be
shown.
