Abstract

Simulation software has become an integral part of solving scientific problems. Transport is no exception; therefore, every transport project must be based on a model and simulation. ETCS is a novelty interlocking system of train protection. Its various application levels offer new possibilities for access to train protection. ETCS L2 levels are being built on railway lines in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. This system brings the highest added value in terms of railway transport capacity. This poster deals with the simulation of a fictitious track equipped with ETCS L2 in the OpenTrack software and a comparison of performance indicators with the state-of-the-art.

Keywords: Simulation, ETCS, headway, capacity
