Railway performance analysis tools

This repository contains various code used around 2018 to demonstrate methods developed for my (Bjørnar Luteberget) Ph.D. thesis. It's is a somewhat complicated mix of Rust and Haskell code and shell scripts, so the project is a bit hard to build at this point, in 2024.

Check out the documentation with examples.

Contents

This repository contains the following programs:

• docs - HTML documentation and examples with interactive visualizations (compile with mdbook)
• rolling - a simple train simulator written in Rust
• railperfcheck - performance specification checker for railways written in Haskell (based on the rolling simulator, minisat, and satplus)
• gridvis - graph layout solver in railway style written in Haskell for the infrastructure format in rolling (based on minisat and satplus)
• rollingrailml - convert railML 2.x files into rolling infrastructure model. Can also derive routes from infrastructure. (Rust)
