Abstract

The simulation of railway systems plays a key role in the design of the supply of the railway network but also in the functionality of the train itself. Various studies have been carried out to understand the railway network and by extension the operation of the trains. [1,2] The history of the railway is an everlasting history of speed. The rail mode is a guided and low grip transit mechanism. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution at the start of the 19th century, when rail first emerged in Europe, passenger train speed has been crucial for competition—not necessarily with other kinds of transportation, but with other rail firms. Additionally, it gave verifiable proof of technological advancement in the time's most developed nations. In this work, an approach is studied for the modeling and simulation using Anylogic PLE regarding saving the energy and the distance traveled for five distinct time periods.
