Track/Train Dynamics Simulation

By ENSCO, Inc.

Used to simulate an entire train over long stretches of track that includes elevation changes and curves. This type of simulation is often used to assess freight train make-up and handling. ENSCO uses the software program Train Energy and Dynamics Simulator (TEDS) provided by our partner Sharma and Associates. Results of simulations can be used to assess problems such as: > * Building operational rules for train make-up and train handling > * Evaluating larger freight train sizes for safety > * Assessing proposed designs of new track, industrial leads, and balloon loops for safety and expected use deterioration > * Investigating and predicting derailment risk and identifying mitigating strategies
