CRITERIA FOR THE ANALYSIS OF CONFLICTS OF TRAFFIC ON RAILWAY LINES AND AT RAILWAY JUNCTIONS

CRITERI PER UN'ANALISI DEI CONFLITTI DI CIRCOLAZIONE NELLE LINEE E NEI NODI FERROVIARI

The adequacy of the railroad plant and installations (lines, stations), destined for the running of trains, depends to a large extent on the probability of effective conflicts in the train traffic flowing and meeting between them by reason of the schedule and itinerary; the relationships between the number of trains and capacity (understood in the usual sense) of the installations, represents, on the other hand, a less significant index of traffic difficulties. Starting from this premise, an exposition is given of some procedures designed to determine the number of circulation conflicts within lines and stations under the assumption of foreseeable variations, as compared with the actual situation, of certain traffic characteristics. It is also proposed to adopt new criteria for the calculation of the capacity of lines and stations.
