Train Performance Calculator

Train Performance Calculator (TPC) is the 1-train simulator that helps you quickly examine:

• Train trip times
• Trip Stops and stopping pattern alternatives
• Line capacity — identify pinch points and test resolution alternatives
• Train power/energy consumption/demand
• Rolling stock alternatives/ retrofits
• Rail alignment alternatives
• Station dwell time alternatives (global or station-specific)

Using TPC is as simple as this:

1. Specify the territory to be simulated (track, grades, curves, multiple speeds)
2. Assemble your train composition
3. Define the train’s schedule and stopping pattern
4. Specify the options for your run
5. GO
