“…RailSys is a synchronic simulation tool, which concurrently simulates all the steps within the network in short time frames (generally one sec.). This complex simulation software works in three basic model views [7]: -macroscopic (railway infrastructure network -nodes and edges); -mesoscopic (concretised on the track section); -microscopic (local and detailed).…”

Following the liberalisation of the railway infrastructure, the non-discriminatory approach to each railway undertaking is necessary, including the issue of the train paths provision in terms of the railway infrastructure capacity. Expression and provision of the throughput capacity of the railway network by absolute number of train paths appear to be inadequate and inaccurate at first glance. There are many ways of calculating the capacity of rail infrastructure, as well as several ways of expressing it. The paper describes the testing of the railway infrastructure capacity in a computer based simulation model, which provides results for further research in the area of this issue. Two hypotheses oriented towards the research on the linear dependence of capacity on the number of train paths as well as towards the need for capacity estimation for a whole track or for only one block section are tested.

Abstract:Providing the railway infrastructure is a prerequisite for achieving the quality of public passenger transport, not only from a national perspective but also within a regional level. Based on transportation capacity knowledge, railway tracks capacity and headway can be determined.Subsequently, it is possible to examine the railway sections capacity and select a measure in order to increase this capacity.
