Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

When carrying out a study having as its object the optimum formation of through express -- parcels trains, the Swiss Federal Railways decided to construct a simulation model, designed for the detailed examination of a part of the operations effected in a marshalling yard. This model, which was designed by Mr. Herren and Mr. Achermann, was programmed on a computer, and is described in the above article, dealing with Bienne Station, which receives and forwards 70 trains daily, and handles some 2,500 wagons.
