We present a mathematical model, which can be used to model a system
consisting of a number of limited resources and several actors, in particular it can be used to model complex railway systems including several trains and track sections. Our approach can be used to model concurrency and synchronization between trains. The theoretical background has been introduced in several papers, so we just present
an example in this paper. We create a graph, based on the routes of the trains, calculate the travel time for each train, and find the best performing scenario.
