Hello

I like to build complex train networks and was wondering whether there is a way to visualize rail usage or something like heatmap? For analyzing the network, finding bottlenecks or unused parts.

I it's not done yet, then one idea i've thought of would be to have an counter for each field and increment it when train passes over it. It's got a problem with bridges/tunnels but it would be enough for what I'm interested in Any idea how hard would it be to code that?

Thanks in advance, have a nice day

Not entirely sure this is what you mean, but there is a patch that highlights signals where trains wait a lot

It's in dutch, but someone once made a program which analyses the OpenTTD memory datastructure which allows for heatmaps. There's a link to a github account in that post, perhaps it's of some use to you.

the dutch its mostly bla bla bla about the game and why he started the program, the actual program is on the souces linked (dropbox & github)

Thanks for links, both are useful and inspirational on how to get done what I want (to have better/more information about my train network performance [or I just think it could produce cool visual representation of it ]).
