Spur: Simulation Platform for Urban Railways

Spur is an event-based mesoscopic railway network simulation platform, designed to support real-time operations and medium-term planning by capturing the stochastic movement of individual trains and the interactions between trains on the network. The model balances simplification with flexibility, and requires substantially less data and expertise than traditional microscopic simulation models.

This documentation website is designed both as a user manual and as a technical documentation source for developers wishing to adapt or extend the software or build their own plugins.

If you are getting started with Spur and would just like to build a simulation and try it out, check out the getting started page.

If you are a developer are are looking for the application programming interface documentation, check out the API reference
