Banverket Capacity Consumption, Congested Infrastructure and Traffic Simulation with Railsys

The capacity consumption in the Swedish network is high. Banverket (Swedish Rail Administration) declared Stockholm congested in April 2007. In October 2007 the lines Olskroken–Savedalen and Iggesund–Sundsvall were declared congested due to conflicts between different traffic operators during the capacity allocation process. Each year since 2001 Banverket has been calculating the capacity consumption for the Swedish network. It has been done manually. For studying capacity measures timetable analysis with Trainplan or traffic simulations with Railsys are made. Capacity measures are normally infrastructure investments, timetable alternatives or punctuality. For traffic simulations with Railsys, Banverket and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) have established a Swedish Railsys user-group. This user-group is working with standardization for using Railsys in Sweden. There is a small consultant market for traffic simulations in Sweden. In Trainplan the running times are produced by the software tools Tigris – PcGTP.
