A New Approach to Estimating the Occupation Time of the Railway Infrastructure
Journal Title: Transport - Year 2010, Vol 25, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper describes UIC methodology and a technique used by Slovakian infrastructure managers for estimating railway capacity and proposes a new approach to evaluating the capacity consumption of a track line (occupation time) based on the graphic approach. The new methodology concerns for the assessment of infrastructure occupation time and is a conceptual framework developed by the authors for an easier evaluation of occupation time in the train traffic diagram.
