Abstract
Quick transportation of containers by truck and train is one of the expanding markets of good transportation. The basic idea of a new method of container transfer is the following: Containers shall change from one goods train to another as people change from one passenger train to another. This procedure is done by special rail-bound vehicles, which transfer containers from one train to another. The container transfer is supported by an operating system BFS which consists of the operating computer BFR and the hierarchically organised software of the BFS. A simulation system which serves as a substitute for the container transfer station allows the realtime simulation of the complete container transfer process. Petri-Nets have been employed to derive the description of major parts of the simulation from the parallel structure of the process. A second revision of the simulation system and the operating system has been completed.
