“…Overall, the maximum number of trains that can be in the network, and the line capacity, depends on technical factors such as headway, signalling, infrastructure and rolling stock; and on operations factors such as operation pattern [14], route itinerary and type of services [15][16][17]. Line capacity in a real operation is complex and involves a number of factors [18][19][20]. These include the infrastructure (single or double track, the number of platforms, platform length, distance between stations, line speed restrictions, radius, gradient, and turnout).…”

“…The design of a signalling system is related to the track occupation of a train [21]. In addition, rolling stock information such as tractive force, numbers of engines, braking characteristics influenced train movements and line capacity in this case [19]. In order to increase the line capacity, different schemes can be used, such as reducing the dwell time, rearranging the station locations, adjusting the train speed, or installing additional signaling equipment [11,22].…”

For the first time in Thailand, an Automated People Mover (APM) has been implemented at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The APM uses the guided way concept similar to metro rail operations, but with driverless trains on rubber wheels. As the APM becomes a key transport technology especially for large airports, it is worth investigating the operations to ensure service viability of driverless APM operations. This research uses a microscopic simulation model to evaluate the feasibility of APM operations and timetables in accordance with capacity requirements. The APM headway is often limited by turnback operations using a single track at the entry-exit of the station. To increase line capacity, headway should be decreased or train capacity should be increased and the itinerary needs to be reevaluated. For an airport APM, the headway should only be decreased within certain limits to achieve the benefits of higher network capacity without compromising passenger travelling time. Increasing train capacity using coupled trains can accommodate more passengers on each trip, but the number of trains available should be considered. The simulation result reveals the critical factors that contribute to improve network capacity and offers guidance for the complex APM operations in the future.

In the modern period, the railway industry faces the challenges of both intensifying the use of existing lines and developing new high-speed transport systems. The lack of capacity reserves for railway lines leads to the abandonment of freight trains, which in turn complicate the management of train traffic. Existing ways to increase throughput are divided into organizational and technical and reconstructive. Historically, the development of railway automation systems has contributed to changing the system of organizing train traffic, increasing the capacity of railway sections. The paper considers various technological and innovative solutions aimed at increasing the capacity and carrying capacity of railway lines, including an assessment of the effectiveness of using mobile block sections and virtual couplings in conditions of limited capacity of railway directions. To solve the problem of increasing the throughput of the investigated cargo-intensive direction of Kotelnikovo-Tikhoretskaya-Razezd 9 km of the North Caucasian Railway (NKR), the method of calculating the throughput was used, as a result of which options for its increase on the cargo-intensive section were proposed, ensuring high reliability of transportation, timely delivery and unloading cargo.
