Abstract: The attention is paid to the design of a demonstration software tool InfraRAIL (including relevant testing with the help of computer simulation) determined for an additional support related to the dispatching control of the rail traffic namely within the frame of regional railway lines in the Czech Republic. The utilisation of satellite navigation for rolling stock positioning is discussed. Consequently the design of a railway infrastructure model is introduced (incl. relevant data structures). The model reflects the need to store rolling stock positions and to make relevant visualisations. The simulations of rolling stock movements are carried out in order to test the functionality of InfraRAIL tool. Within this context the real historical (time-stamped) data items are utilised. In addition, generated data reflecting potential collision train movements (typically within the frame of single-track line section) are exploited.
