Traxim Controller

The Traxim Controller is a web interface to manage the scenario creation and timetable resolution process. Initial scenario set-up, validation of the scenario, generation of resolved timetables, and download of results, are all controlled from the interface.

Traxim Network Editor

The Traxim Network Editor is an online tool to build and edit your infrastructure. The infrastructure to be simulated is inputted from a csv file, and can be created and edited directly in the csv. However, using the visual editor provides a considerably more intuitive experience.

Traxim Train Graph Viewer

Traxim generates train graphs during both the validation and simulation processes. These can be downloaded as pdf's, or as .gz files that can be viewed in the train graph viewer. The viewer gives greater control over region sequencing and train flow direction, and better zoom control.

Excel Tools

Network Geopositioner

The Network Geopositioner is an Excel file that can be used in conjunction with the Traxim Network Editor to be able to visualise your network in approximate geo-spacial dimensions. Full instructions are given on the first page of the file.

Speedboard Generator

Traxim will limit train speed based on a speedboards input file. It can also, in addition, automatically restrict curve speed based on curve radius, nominal superelevation, and permitted cant deficiency. The auto curve speed limiting function is useful if you don't have speedboard data, or want an overlay in case speedboard data might be imperfect. If you want to automatically generate speedboards but want more visibility and control, this Speedboard Generator Excel file can be used in conjunction with a track geometry file to automatically generate speedboards based on curve radius and permitted cant deficiency. They can then be checked and edited and used in the speedboards input file. Full instructions are given on the first page of the file.

Tractive Effort File Generator

The Tractive Effort File Generator is an Excel spreadsheet that can be used to generate Tractive Effort Curve input files using limited and generally public information about the performance characteristics of a type or class of locomotive. While less accurate than a manufacturers tractive effort curve, it is a generally adequate alternative when a tractive effort curve is not available. Full instructions are given on the first page of the file.The file is already populated with a range of common North American and Australian locomotives.

Parallel Track Generator

The Parallel Track Generator is an Excel file that can be used to create a geometrically correct track centreline this is a given offset from the starting centreline. This may be useful if you want to have separate track geometries for each track in multiple track sections. Full instructions are given on the first page of the file.
