Components and configurations

BEST – components and configurations

The simulation software meets the requirements for every level of training and can be implemented in a variety of configurations. Multi-user simulation systems reproduce every detail of modern control centre workplaces, making it possible to train realistic scenarios. The training units are all controlled and monitored by qualified supervisors.

Single-user simulators are also being increasingly deployed as a training method so that trainees can engage in further training through self-learning or prepare for important training programmes. Trainees operate these simulators themselves and work on specifically prepared practice scenarios.

BEST can also be integrated in the training as a learning platform and training content can be prepared for the learners on this basis. Practical tasks for various types of interlocking can be created for immediate application of the content taught and stored together with sample solutions.

The learning platform can be accessed from any location using a PC or a tablet, giving learners the opportunity to work on tasks individually and expand their knowledge independently. Separate software solutions for different applications are not necessary, as BEST fulfils the entire range of requirements – from stationary simulation systems to web-based training.

Simulation of interlocking logic and external installations:

▪ Real topography

▪ Manufacturer-specific differences taken into account

▪ Simulation of time behaviour in real time

Simulation of train and shunting movements:

▪ Rail operations according to timetable

▪ Interfaces to external timetable systems

▪ Manual setting of any train and shunting movements

Simulation of technical and operational failures:

▪ Adjustment of failures at all key external installations

▪ Realistic impact on operations

▪ Delays, re-routing, train disruptions

Multi-user simulation:

▪ Interaction of multiple interlockings, even of varying technologies

▪ Training of dispatching and safety-relevant actions extending beyond interlocking

Analysis of the simulation:

▪ Analysis of delay minutes in timetable operations

▪ Documentation of operating actions and non-compliance with regulations
