The software is currently produced by SoftRail (formerly Signal Computer Consultants) for Windows-based computers. The simulator is operated from the perspective of a CTC dispatcher. Track diagrams similar to actual CTC displays are provided, and train operations run according to a timetable. Operations can be run in real time or adjusted fast ...
It allows users to control LED lights, horn, or switch the railway of hobbyist open-source or commercials closed-sourced trains. JMRI is a suite of tools distributed via a single download . The two most popular tools are DecoderPro for programming Digital Command Control (DCC) decoders, and PanelPro for controlling layouts.
Hornby Track-Master is a birds eye 2D Planning tool, distinct from Hornby Virtual Railway (HVR). HVR [ note 1 ] uses a 3D Planning Environment in which one can plan, build and test a layout. However, being released many years ago, it has fairly low quality graphics.
SimSig is referenced in the 2nd edition of Railway Operation and Control by Professor Jörn Pachl of University of Braunschweig - Institute of Technology. [16] Doctor Marcelo Moretti Fioroni of the University of São Paulo , in a paper on rail simulations and their applications in Brazil, cited SimSig as an extremely realistic simulation ...
RailPulse envisions a revenue model where users pay a one-time charge to equip railcars with tracking technology, periodic fees for communications services and software updates and a monthly ...
railML (railway mark-up language) is a common exchange format, which employs XML for the description of rail-specific data. railML enables the exchange of railway data between internal and external railway applications. railML is developed within the so-called “railML consortium” from railML.org.
tracking of equipped train location and track occupancies via the data link, and unequipped train location and track occupancies via voice reports and manual entry; speed enforcement for equipped trains; enforcement of limits of authority for equipped trains; pacing for fuel economy for equipped trains; monitoring and control of wayside systems;
A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
