Estimating demand in signalling operations can inform both decisions about operational practice as well as technology design. Hitachi Information Control System Europe Ltd. (HICSE) in partnership with the University of Nottingham are collaborating on Dynamic Modelling of Operator Demand (D-MOD). This new workstation evaluation tool is capable to analyse traffic map and timetable complexity by predicting various demand levels using existing simulation software. This case study introduces the first stage of the project and the presentation of an interactive demonstrator.
