RailToolKit: Building an Open Ecosystem from TrainRuns.jl
Martin Scheidt, Gregor Wehrle

RailToolKit is an emerging ecosystem for open railway research. TrainRuns.jl is our showcase package for running time calculations. Today, railway studies often rely on siloed spreadsheets, proprietary tools, and non-reproducible workflows. We have built TrainRuns.jl as the first component. Now we are designing interfaces to enable data exchange and reproducible workflows across packages. Share your workflows and use cases to help shape this ecosystem!
