Department Děčín

Synopsis:

Introduction to the characteristics of simulation tools, creation of a simulation model of railway infrastructure, verification of a specific operational concept on the given infrastructure, adaptation of the infrastructure model and modification to the infrastructure to allow the implementation of the proposed operational concept. Stability tests and evaluations. Evaluation of sensitivity of the operational concept to delays.

Requirements:

basic knowledge of railway safety systems and technology of railway operation
