CONCERNING LINE CAPACITY DURING SINGLE-TRACK OPERATION WHEN CARRYING OUT ENGINEERING WORK ON THE LINE

ZUR LEISTUNGSFAEHIGKEIT EINGLEISIGER BAUBETRIEBSZUSTAENDE

The planning of engineering work on the track is strongly influenced by the possibility of operating on line sections temporarily reduced to single-track working. The study of the timetables supplies only a limited basis for appreciation. The quality and stability of single-track operating rules are determined in decisive fashion by the rate of line occupation, and distribution of traffic in time. The line occupation rate is influenced by the number of trains and the length of the single-track sections, but also by the type of operation, and grouping trains into series.
