“…With the appropriate use of this system, it is possible to plan a train path in very short sequences, which creates a sufficient reserve for the development of rail transport [20]. In developing this research, it is also possible to follow up on the ideas and outputs published in other papers [40,41].…”

In the field of railway operation, it is essential to establish uniform conditions for interconnectivity requirements and compatibility of equipment in the Pan-European railway area to ensure effective interoperability. It also includes, for example, the introduction of a control system with modern and advanced interlocking systems (safety devices). The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a single European train protection system that will increase safety in rail transport. Nevertheless, this system may have an impact on the throughput on those railway lines where it is applied. The main research objective is to determine the impacts and effects of the configuration of track signaling equipment on the operational management of traffic and especially on the creation of a traffic plan. The optimization of transport processes on the railway infrastructure means creating the conditions for achieving higher throughput performance, especially including a higher number of train paths into the train traffic diagram. This paper examines and compares the impacts of ETCS and its levels (in particular ETCS L3) on the practical throughput of the selected national infrastructure manager. A heuristic procedure is used with the application of the analytical methodology of the Railways of the Slovak Republic (ŽSR), which uses the principles of mathematical statistics and probability. Significant comparative indicators are occupancy times and the degree of utilization of practical throughput. These are used in investment decisions in the modernization of line sections to achieve interoperability of the railway system.

Accelerating rail transport is a key factor in improving the quality of passenger and freight transport. The main research question of the article asks whether it is possible to increase the speed due to the change in the interlocking. The main research tool is a comparison of the interval of crossing before and after the reconstruction of the interlocking. As the entire research is carried out on a single-track line at the Podbrezová station, the interval of crossing is the most relevant indicator. An associated goal of the entire research is to point out a possible increase in the carrying out of station tracks and an overall improvement in the working conditions of operational staff (station inspectors and switchmen).
