Add a train route in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation

00:03

When creating a railway network in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation,

00:07

once you have added rail segments and stands, the next step is to add a new train route.

00:13

This creates the environment for the scheduled train service that will run along this railway in your multimodal simulation model.

00:21

Begin with an InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model open, with two railway segments connected and train stands placed.

00:29

The first step is to set up a trail, which is simply the route that your train will follow.

00:35

To do this, zoom in to the railway, and pick the left lane.

00:39

Then, from the Network menu, click Trails.

00:43

This opens the Trails dialog box.

00:47

To add a new route for your train service, click New, and in the New Trail dialog, click OK to accept the default name of Trail1.

00:56

In the model, Mobility Simulation has automatically detected the second section of attached rail.

01:03

In more complicated railway systems, The New Trail dialog that opens offers color-coded options,

01:10

such as left turns, right turns, or different ways of branching.

01:15

For this example, the only option is to go straight, so no options appear.

01:20

Click OK to close the dialog.

01:23

Back in the Trails dialog box, select Apply, then click OK.

01:29

With a new train route established in your InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model,

01:33

you are now ready to create a scheduled train service for the railway to use in a multimodal simulation.
