COMPILATION OF WORKING TIMETABLES FOR TEMPORARY SINGLE-TRACK WORKING; WAYS OF CONTROLLING TRAIN RUNNING

The German Federal Railway has developed a program for determining the effect of temporary single-track working on the theoretical timetable for a double-track line. The program does not just fix the train sequence in the temporary single-track section by train classes, but also takes into account permissible train delays, for which allowance is made depending on the priority of the train. The article gives an account of the structure of the program and the method used to determine the train sequence in the section with temporary single-track working.
