  • Dynamic Model of the Passenger Flow on Rail Baltica
    Proceedings of the 2018 Winter Simulation Conference M. Rabe, A.A. Juan, N. Mustafee, A. Skoogh, S. Jain, and B. Johansson, eds. DYNAMIC MODEL OF THE PASSENGER FLOW ON RAIL BALTICA Juri Tolujew Tobias Reggelin Irina Yatskiv Ilya Jackson Department of Mathematical Methods and Department of Logistics and Material Handling Modelling Systems Transport and Telecommunication Institute Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg Lomonosova Str. 1 Universitätsplatz 2 LV-1019 Riga, LATVIA 39106 Magdeburg, GERMANY ABSTRACT This paper describes the design and application of a model simulating the passenger flows on the high- speed rail line Rail Baltica. The proposed model allows one to define passenger flow service indicators, according to data on the behavior of potential passengers that take the train in different localities along Rail Baltica. If corresponding baseline data is provided and the duration of the longest trip will not exceed one day, the model can be used to study processes on other railways with a similar structure. The developed model simulates movements and accumulation of passengers at stations and in trains on four sections connecting five cities along Rail Baltica. Besides that, the model allows for studying particular scenarios related to large sports or other events that will take place near one or several cities through which the railway passes. 1 INTRODUCTION Rail Baltica is a project to construct a high-speed railway that will link up the Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia with Central European countries. As the result of the “Rail Baltica I” stage, a standard-gauge railway with a track gauge of 1,435 mm will be built.
