Abstract
This paper introduces a new project supported by the UK Technical Strategy Leadership Group (TSLG) to contribute to its vision of Future Traffic Regulation Optimisation (FuTRO). In this project Newcastle University will closely cooperate with Siemens Rail Automation on developing novel modelling, verification and simulation techniques and tools that support and explore in an integrated approach to efficient dynamic improvement of capacity and energy consumption of railway networks and nodes while ensuring whole systems safety. The SafeCap+ (or SafeCap for FuTRO) project builds on the two previous projects (SafeCap and SafeCap Impact) which have developed a novel modelling environment that helps signalling engineers to design nodes (stations or junctions) in a way that guarantees their safety and allows engineers to explore different design options to select the ones that ensure the improved node capacity.
