摘要

The digitalization of the railway domain is a key enabler for more efficient railway operations matching the future needs of society. One part of this process is the digitalization of planning processes, replacing the use of paper-based plans with digital formats. Digital planning documents also open new possibilities, e.g., deriving representative simulation in early project stages. A commonly used simulator for such purposes is the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO). To use the capabilities of SUMO, we are presenting a tool chain for unifying planning documents and generating simulation configurations from them. The core of this tool chain is the yaramo model, covering mainly the topology, geography, and the control command and signaling (CCS) infrastructure of the railway network. The tool chain consists of three major layers: Importers to support multiple data sources (such as PlanPro or OpenRailwayMap), processors to enrich the model, and exporters to support various consumers of the model. This leads to several applications, such as rail network performance evaluations and test automation for CSS infrastructure. Ultimately, our work aims to support the digitalization process of the railway domain, especially the digital planning and development of railway networks.
