REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE FOR MODELING THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF A RAILWAY STATION BASED ON SIMULATION MODEL

Abstract

In the modern world, the efficiency and safety of railway systems are critical aspects of transport infrastructure. This study examines software tools for modeling the technological processes of railway stations and analyzes their advantages and limitations. Packages such as AnyLogic, Aimsun, AutoMod, and MvStudium were evaluated in terms of their functional capabilities, ability to conduct simulation experiments, optimize logistical processes, and manage operational activities. The results indicate that computerization and visual modeling of railway systems enhance operational efficiency, enable more effective resource utilization, and improve management of technological processes. Integrative modeling approaches allow for more accurate representation of technical and operational processes and provide a foundation for the future implementation of intelligent management systems. Moreover, the use of ergatic models enables consideration of human factors, improving modeling quality and allowing simulation of various operational scenarios. In conclusion, the study proposes new methods for developing functional models to assess and forecast the performance of railway stations, facilitating innovative, scientifically grounded solutions and supporting strategic planning in railway transport management.
