The simulation study of train care center near german town Tübingen has been concluded successfully during the summer of 2013. The main goal of the simulation study was to investigate the new track configuration of the yard and to examine the consequences of increased traffic on the operation of Tübingen railway junction (including passenger station). Inner cleaning, outer cleaning, refueling and depot maintenance processes were all included in the model, as were the train and shunting movements and personnel assignments. Timely train departures and execution of all required operational tasks belonged to the most important criteria for the evaluation of the maintenace centre operation.
