As a result of many years of research, engineers at MRX Technologies have developed Train Simulation knowledge, software and tools that are suited to study heavy haul train behaviour.

The MRX Train Simulation package provides the means to plan and evaluate changes such as:

• Train performance
• New driving strategies
• Equipment selection
• The effects of such changes on journey times, fuel usage and in-train forces
• Train behavior during normal driving, loading and dumping operations and during indexing through a car dumper

This allows us to provide recommendations and solutions that enhance our clients asset life and facilitate cost reduction.

Textual and graphical reports are produced at the completion of a simulation, and can be tailored to suit requirements.

Train Simulations are an extremely cost effective tool. They allow techniques to be tried and improvements to be achieved without compromising safety or jeopardising tight operating schedules.

Furthermore, they are a tool that can be used to predict economic success or failure of proposed changes.

Some applications of our train simulation services include:

• Development of new train driving strategies
• Evaluation of behaviour of very long heavy haul trains under loaded and empty conditions
• Evaluation of impact of track layouts for new railway (or modifications to track layout)
• Rollingstock design / changes evaluation
• Evaluation of Dumping & load out operations for ore cars
