The analysis of congested infrastructure and capacity utilisation at Trafikverket

Trafikverket analyzes railroad capacity in Sweden. Capacity utilization is calculated annually for the whole system. Capacity utilization remains high in the Swedish railroad network. This paper describes the implementation of the common European standard (for capacity utilization) that the Capacity Leaflet UIC 406 describes. The paper also discusses the Southern Main Line that connects Malmo and Stockhom, in Sweden. The Southern Main Line was congested in 2011. The paper describes the methods used to analyze and aid the congested line.
