Use cases

The process of planning the circulation of a train requires 10 years of anticipation and involves the collaboration of different services and actors to transform the mobility needs of customers: The process of planning a train requires 10 years of anticipation and involves the collaboration of different departments and actors to transform the mobility needs of customers: organizing authorities (OA) and railway companies (RC) into annual service (AS).

The OSRD project aims to meet the needs of simulations that cover the entire process, from the design of the transportation plan to its operation.

Our mission is to provide a simulation tool that can be used in all stages of the design phase (timetable planning and operational studies), on a national geographic scale (including the whole French network) and with a variable detail size. Moreover, in the operational phase, the OSRD project proposes a service to draw last minute paths (time-slot during which the infrastructure is allocated to the circulation of a specific train) in the theoretical or real residual capacity of the railway network, once the other circulations have already been planned.
