The changeover from diesel driven multiple units to battery electric multiple units is a challenge for operators due to the limited range of these trains. Therefore, in this paper a tool is developed and described that simulates the entire operation of a battery electric train. The tool contains a model of the track, the vehicle, the timetable and the environment. The model of the track is built on elevation profiles, radius information and speed limitation. The vehicle model is derived from an electric multiple unit suitable for local and commuter train operation. To do parametric studies or model different train units it is easily possible to change vehicle properties. Modeling the timetable and the environment allows the simulation of an entire operation day. The overall simulation model was validated and is consistent. Finally examples show the simulation possibilities and features of the tool.
