Abstract

Petri nets have been widely applied in different aspects of railway modelling and analysis. This paper presents an insight into how coloured Petri nets can be used to model geographical interlocking. We start with a generalisation of coloured Petri nets and follow with an overview of interlocking. In the main body we present a generic unit model and demonstrate how it can be used to represent a simple junction, comprising of three fundamental components; namely track, signal and point units.
