Control Line Generator

RAILSIM's Control Line Generator is used to support engineering design and optimization of train control systems through its automated control line generation capabilities. Integrated with RAILSIM Editor's Track Profile Editor, the Control Line Generator generates bidirectional control lines based on your rail network and your specifications of:

  • Permitted signal aspect and/or code rate sequences,
  • Prohibited signal aspect and/or code rate sequences, and
  • Safe braking distance criteria.


RAILSIM Control Line Generator supports user-specification of
permitted (above) and prohibited (below) cab and wayside signal
code rate/aspect sequences.

The Control Line Generator supports quick modification of design speeds, signal locations, control lines and other system attributes. These changes can then be saved in the RAILSIM database.

RAILSIM’s integrated system lets you test new designs in Network Simulator and/or RAILSIM TPC, through Safe Braking Distance, Signal Delay, Signal Clear and Headway reports. At any point in this iterative process of fine tuning a signal system, you can generate engineering drawings (in CAD DXF file format) of the new design from the Track Profile Editor.
