Draft Methodology to Specify the Railway Sections Capacity

Abstract

This paper presents the individual parameters of the selected railway corridors in the selected country. Particularly, it describes the specific features of selected corridors in this country, summarizes their capacity, as well as proposes the methodology in order to specify the capacity of given railway section. The outcome is represented by the calculation of the appropriate railway section capacity implemented on the particular railway corridor in the selected EU country.

Capacity of Main Railway Lines – Analysis of Methodologies for its Calculation

“…Then, from our example the time of occupation, T obs = 540 min and based on the formula t medz = 0.420 + 0.564.t obs , the total gap time T medz = 304.98 min and consequently the use of permeable performance will be K prakt = 58.68%. The slight deviation between these values and the values based on ŽSR methodology, is caused by estimation of the regression correlation equation parameters, which has the reliability value R2 = 0.999 [15][16][17][18].…”

Proposal for Streamlining the Railway Infrastructure Capacity on the Specific Track Section in the Context of Establishing an Integrated Transport System

“…In order to meet this goal, it is necessary to determine the optimum length of a doubletrack liner (section) with the corresponding safety device (see equation 1) [11][12][13][14] From the above calculation, it is clear that the length of a double-track liner for smooth crossing must be at least 1397 m. After the performed analysis of the track section, it would be most efficient to build a double-track liner in a constraining section of the single-track line between Drienovská nová Ves station and Haniská pri Prešove station. The distance between these two points is 5,100 m, which meets the condition of the minimum distance of a double-track liner for smooth crossing.…”

Proposal for Evaluating a Connection Quality within Transport Networks

“…These may also include the integrated transport system lines. The network is defined by the set of tariff points (vertices of graph) and the set of road transport relations connecting the tariff points (edges of graph) [7,9].…”

“…This selection may be divided according to the carrier providing transport on the selected network, depending on the mode of transport, or to choose a complete search across all available connections between all the carriers [8,9].…”
