Train-Specification

Introduction

railsim supports the simulation of specific, train-related behavior, e.g. acceleration based on the total weight of a train. In order to simulate this detailed behavior, additional attributes must be specified per train, i.e. per vehicle type in MATSim.

This document specifies these custom attributes.

Specification

TransitVehicle Attributes

Default vehicle type attributes for length, maximum velocity and capacity. Set network mode to rail.

railsimAcceleration

The vehicle-specific acceleration. Unit: meters per square-seconds [m/s²]

railsimDeceleration

The vehicle-specific deceleration. Unit: meters per square-seconds [m/s²]
