Play with trains at work! The AnyLogic Rail Library

Last post I highlighted the new Traffic Library but it was brought to my attention that the Rail Library barely got a mention in passing.  Let me fix that.  You have had the capability to model trains before in AnyLogic, after all it's a general purpose environment, but the new library makes it drag and drop easy.  You can lay out track or have AnyLogic create a track layout from a descriptive file.  You can have multiple cameras.  You can easily combine trains with pedestrians to get a train station model (see video).  You can import custom cars if you want more than provided in the library.  You can simulate kicking cars or humps.  The trains understand switching logic.  In short, we've shown this to a few people in the train business and they are mighty impressed.

But that's not all!  The XJ team has been hard at work on writing the Big Book of AnyLogic and I am happy to announce that the Rails chapter, in all its shiny newness, is available.  You can read it at the XJ website, download it, or just flip through the first 15 pages of it here to get a taste.  Click the right arrow to read this in its frame, click the center to fill your screen.
