The railway dispatching simulations developed by Signalsoft Rail Consultancy Ltd. use Microsoft Access databases (.mdb) to store and retrieve data related to the simulation that is not static and nor specific to a particular layout. Such data includes:

  • vehicle physics
  • consist physics
  • consist templates
  • shunting/movement orders
  • train schedule
  • bridge schedule
  • calendar holidays

Each simulation executable contains the default database embedded within it. A user with a valid license key, however, can choose to start a simulation using an external database of their choice. This allows for a wide range of changes and additions. The list below contains the database tables that must be defined. Each item links to further information about that particular table.
