Software Support for Railway Traffic Simulation under Restricted Conditions of the Rail Section

The paper describes issues connected to theoretical assumptions for operational planning in rail transport. It also deals with mathematical model of planning in rail transport as well as it describes draft software support, which was designed by University of Žilina for operational planning of rail transport, especially in crisis situations. Extreme weather events, other major natural events such as earthquakes and volcanic activity may substantially harm the rail infrastructure. For this reason, the practical utility of creation described expert information system.
