APPLICATION OF SOFTWARE IN TRAIN RUNNING ANALYSIS FOR PROJECTS OF RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

The application of software to design building structures is of great importance to the quality and efficiency of project documentation. The design for new railway lines needs to make train operating analyses that are essential in the process of evaluation and adoption of the most optimal alignment. Calculations of travel time and energy consumption can be done with specialized software. This paper presents the application of the software Railnet 2 for calculations of trains running time and energy consumption in pre-feasibility study for the project of a new railway line Pljevlja - Bijelo Polje, Berane border with Kosovo.
