The Railway Traffic Control Lab was established in January 2014 as a result of collaboration between the Department of Informatics at the Faculty of Business and Economics, Mendel University in Brno, and the Brno I Railway Modelling Club.

The lab focuses on interactive teaching of informatics and programming, where students apply their knowledge by developing software to control model railway layouts. Beyond teaching, the lab also supports various projects and serves as a space for the development of bachelor’s and master’s theses.

A long-term goal of the lab is to model real railway segments – including buildings, signalling systems, and station layouts. This allows for simulation of real-world operations as well as the preservation of the historical layout of railway lines that no longer exist or are largely out of service today.

The RTCL features two model railway layouts in H0 (1:87) and TT (1:120) scales. The H0 layout is used primarily for teaching purposes, while the TT layout is fully owned by the Club and is used for the development of hJOP control software, which simulates railway traffic management. Students can also connect to a dedicated technology server and control the layouts via an intuitive REST API.
