DIGITAL SIMULATION OF TRAFFIC FLOW WITH APPLICATION TO RAILWAY TRAIN MOVEMENTS.

Abstract

This report describes an initial investigation into the feasibility of simulating railway train movements in a general purpose digital computer, using techniques which were developed for studies of air traffic movements. In the cases considered, it has been found possible to represent train movements with a high degree of realism using a relatively simple model. A programme has been made to apply the method to the Dartford area. (Author)
