Major
Interlocking Signaling System - Interactive Train Planner
Conflict Resolution Model
The MISS-IT©
program is an event-based conflict resolution model designed to
increase rail system efficiency. The system draws together track
infrastructure data stored within TRACKMAN©
and the timetables generated within LOCOMOTION©
to determine the interaction of trains on a specified corridor.
MISS-IT© uses
data on existing infrastructure, such as sidings and double-track,
and makes decisions regarding delays and procedures base on given
priorities.
MISS-IT©
tests the effects of additional infrastructure on a given route
and whether these changes create or alleviate bottlenecks within
the system. The system is capable of displaying outputs in an
animated graphics mode.
