Abstract

In this paper, a combined approach of a simulation for rail traffic is proposed. This approach makes it possible to use suitable models of the simulation both microscopic and macroscopic, according to required details for each train traveling between stations. This approach makes use of a feature of the train motion, that does not directly depend on the preceding train motion like road traffic, but only depends on the speed limit in the block section belonging at the present time. Apply ing this approach to a system for train traffic, we can get a quick response of macroscopic simulation and a detailed result of microscopic one. 1. Introduction Simulation models for train traffic can be classified as microscopic and macroscopic. The fo
