Synchrotrain® is a new concept of transport on the available railway system. It operates like the Sprinter car without stopover but in small units and drives automatically and individually to every railway station. The single units can be optimized for different purposes. There are for example units that can transport up to eight persons and a car or goods.

Even with the different widths of the rail tracks the Synchrotrain® can change between the railway systems without decreasing the speed.

The necessary junctions and stations for the Synchrotrain® do not influence the today's railed vehicles, so that they can operate in parallel without any problems.

Today's tracks in to directions would compare with the capacity of a highway with fourteen lanes, thus solving the transport problem on the road.

The project was now to program a simulation. The simulation should work as booking system, where one is able to book a cab to a destination at a specific time. Together with other users of the webpage this cab should be seen in an example network. The project was divided into different parts:

• translation work into English
• GUI design
• Train grid creation
• Database connection and design
• Way finding algorithm
