This article discusses the problem of selection by modeling the optimal parameters of a new scintillation muon hodoscope created for the development of the muonography method. The muon hodoscope is a scintillation detector consisting of several layers of scintillation strips with fiber optic light collection on silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). Its exact model in the Geant4 software package was developed. With its help, the passage of muons through the detector and the response of the detector to these events are simulated. The reconstruction of the tracks of muons was carried out and the accuracy of their reconstruction was estimated. The obtained distributions of events in the angle between the reconstructed and "real" tracks for various detector parameters and the selection of optimal parameters for the highest accuracy and efficiency of the reconstruction of muon tracks are considered.
