RAPID RAIL TRAFFIC AND ROAD TRAFFIC

SCHIENENSCHNELLVERKEHR UND STRASSENVERKEHR

The effects of a superimposed rapid rail system for trains with the speeds of between 250-450 km/h, independent from the ordinary rail traffic, for pickaback traffic of private passenger cars and trucks on the traffic load of the road network and the necessary road access facilities at railroad stations are investigated. Results are presented of a planning study for such railroad station facilities in the area of Cologne. It was assumed that on each working day about 16,000 private cars and trucks, involving the catchment area extending from Trier to Kleve, would use the Cologne railroad station facilities. It is concluded that the site for such a station must, for various practical reasons, be sought at an outer ring route intersection.
