A user can edit the networks topology graphically. OpenTrack describes a railway network in special graphs called double vertex graphs. Simulation of railway power supply systems (using OpenPowerNet).Calculation of power and energy consumption of train services.Analyzing the effects of system failures (such as infrastructure or train failures) and delays.
Evaluating and designing various signaling systems, such as discrete block systems, short blocks, moving blocks, LZB, CBTC (communication-based train control), ATP, ATO, ETCS Level 1, ETCS Level 2, ETCS Hybrid Level 3, ETCS Level 3 (see also: ERTMS), PTC (Positive Train Control).Timetable construction analyzing the robustness of timetables (single or multiple simulation runs, Monte-Carlo simulation).Rolling stock studies (for example, future requirements).using the OpenTrack tool Headway Calculator Calculation of minimum headways (headway calculation), e.g.Analyzing the capacity of lines and stations.Determining the requirements for a railway networks infrastructure.OpenTrack supports the following kinds of tasks: Maglev (magnetic levitation) systems (e.g.OpenTrack allows to model, simulate and analyze the following types of rail systems:
Today, the railway simulation tool OpenTrack is a well-established railway planning software and it is used by railways, the railway supply industry, consultancies and universities in different countries. The aim of the project Object-Oriented Modeling in Railways, was to develop a catalyst for practical economic solutions to complex railway technology problems. OpenTrack began in the mid-1990s as a research project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. In the user workshop section of this page you will find all the presentations. The last OpenTrack user workshop was held in Zurich from the 12 to 14 September 2019 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich, ETHZ).

The new Mac Pro Version of OpenTrack is designed to run natively on Apple Silicon. OpenTrack is ready for Apple Silicon, the new generation of ARM based CPU's developed by Apple. The magazine Signalling + Datacommunication publishes an article (PDF) with the title “Headways in ETCS Levels 2 and 3 on the main urban railway line in Vienna”. The Serbian magazine Železnice (Railway) publishes a report (PDF) about OpenTrack. Diese Seite ist auch auf Deutsch verfügbar.Įsta página está también disponible en Español.
