level of service. The capacity of a particular route segment to satisfy railway traffic demand is largely a function of the track infrastructure layout and traffic control system. The amount of railway capacity consumed by a given demand for freight and passenger transportation is primarily a function of three factors: the number of trains required to transport the demanded freight and passenger volumes; the level-of-service requirements of each type of train; and complex interactions between different types of trains arising from the operating plan over a particular route segment. While much previous research has documented the relationship between infrastructure, traffic control and train volume, understanding the relationships between operating plans, train-type interactions and train-type-specific levels of service is still a knowledge gap. This research explores these latter factors in more detail and develops new capacity evaluation and infrastructure planning techniques to account for their effects. The objective of this study is to develop new railway capacity evaluation tools and infrastructure. |
