# About

TrainRuns.jl is a step towards open science and open data in railway engineering. Its modular design offers the possibility to serve as a basis for future optimization and development. TrainRuns.jl is suitable for qualitative calculations to compare different trains, and it is publicly available, and we invite others to collaborate.

------------

# Installation

Use the package manager provided by julia:
```julia
julia> # use the ] key
(@v1.x) pkg> add TrainRuns
(@v1.x) pkg> # use backspace
julia> using TrainRuns
```

The required julia packages are
  - YAML.jl
  - JSONSchema.jl
  - DataFrames.jl
  - CSV.jl

------------

# Minimal working example

```julia
using TrainRuns

train = Train("test/data/trains/freight.yaml")
path  = Path("test/data/paths/const.yaml")

runtime = trainrun(train, path)

println("The train needs $runtime seconds for the running path.")
```
