My main motivation of building this
application is to learn all aspects of building software. Therefore,
I'm building this software myself, instead of having it on
collaboration sites such as SourceForge. Maybe, I'll use such sites
in the future, but that is a decision that I will make later.
I want to build an application that can
simulate an advanced train network, such as the trains in Skåne
county, the metro of Stockholm or the train network that existed in
the beginning of the twentieth century – what would the traffic
look like if we would have kept those old railroad lines instead of
removing them?

The rail network in Skåne one hundred years ago.

The rail network in Skåne today.
My ambition is not to be very detailed
on switch level for the train networks, that would be too
complicated.
Instead, I want to simulate the train
network from the commuters perspective. How many person-minutes will
be lost waiting for trains, what bottle-necks will there be and can a
more advanced traffic control system become adaptible?
