SYSTRA has launched its RAILSIM X® Software Suite, analytical software for rail systems modeling and simulations. The company says this redevelopment of the RAILSIM operations software package will introduce a brand new set of analytical capabilities and include enhancements to the software's existing array of modules.
SYSTRA says it has taken major steps to enhance the software and its user experience by moving to a cloud-based system and developing tools to match emerging technologies. RAILSIM X is designed on a 64 bit architecture, which the company says facilitates easier use, faster operation and efficient delivery of simulation models on both PC and Apple operating systems. RAILSIM X includes improvements to its Train Performance Calculator, Network Simulator, Safe Braking Distance Calculator, Signal Engineer, Control Line Generator, Headway Calculator, Vehicle Inventory database engine and enhancements to the software’s Load Flow Analyzer.
“The new and enhanced analytical capabilities in RAILSIM X give our engineers and transportation experts tools to validate their design decision with a high degree of accuracy and confidence,” said William Crosbie, president and chief executive officer of SYSTRA USA and regional director of SYSTRA North America.
SYSTRA says RAILSIM X Simulation Software Suite represents the latest in graphical operations simulation for capital improvements planning, engineering, ridership analysis, operational planning scheduling and dispatcher/operator training. RAILSIM X includes features to aid in the design of new train control systems.
