Dynamic model of a railway system Beginning • Doctoral studies at TU Braunschweig • Methods to acquire and manage data in railway • Analyse problems with human-machine-interface (HMI) • Investigate human factors with simulations • Simulation base with localisation and time information

Dynamic model of a railway system Laboratory • Build up to test the hypothesis from the research • Simulators and components • Adoption of the one and only SBB full motion simulator Re 460 • Adoption and refactoring of the simulator Re 420 (LOCSIM) • Refactoring und implementation of a signal box (Obermatt-Langnau)

Dynamic model of a railway system Objective I • Investigate complex problems • Point out the necessity of simulation models • Analytical modelling with focus on HMI to apply research hypothesis

Dynamic model of a railway system Modelling procedure • Video based capturing of railway tracks and environment • Capture meta data (GPS) Collect • Extend video data with meta data by the use of QRailScan (GPS, Infrastructure) • Approach to maximize compatibility with standard data format (XML) Preparation

Dynamic model of a railway system Modelling procedure • ZUSI System (virtual environment) • LOCSIM (video) Environment Infrastructure • Digitalize interlocking table (standard format - railML?, rule Engine) • Elaborate interlocking logic (interlocking table + specific interlocking know-how) Interlocking

Dynamic model of a railway system Modelling procedure • Verify the model and check coverage with the objectives Verification • Analyse with investigated methods • Test the hypothesis of the research • Real occurrences for test scenarios Apply

Dynamic model of a railway system Objective II • Approaching to a standard data base structure for data management, flexible data storage and data transfer • Standard methods to integrate simulation components (driving simulators, signal boxes, operation control) • Possibility to optimize conditions in simulation environment for staff training and qualification • Investigation and research to develop methods for automatic data acquiring (ETH Zurich)

Dynamic model of a railway system aspect railML • Dynamical simulation environments • Develop standard interface between simulation components • Software technical solution: DESM Middleware

DESM Middleware Components Operation Cabin control Simulation Signal box

DESM Middleware Implementation Components of communication Implementation DESM Middleware • Standard data format Simulation • Stable standardized interface LOCSIM • Communication between different Signal box systems Obermatt-Langnau • Individual configuration of Cabin simulation components Re 420 • Data stream over TCP/IP interface Operation Control • Modularized ILTIS?

DESM Middleware railML • Are there standard infrastructure attributes with localisation and characteristics over time? (version control) • possibility to model interlocking logic? (rule engine)
