Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

To study traffic stability problems on the Shinkansen, the JNR Railway Technical Research Institute developed the Shinkansen Train Traffic Simulator (STRATS). The STRATS has been designed as a general-purpose system which will permit the simulation of train traffic on all the Shinkansen lines inclusive of those now planned for construction. In this system the train movements are governed by train arrival and departure times, track numbers at stations etc., as prescribed in the predetermined train schedule.
