Abstract:The objective of this study is to develop new railway capacity evaluation tools and infrastructure planning techniques to address infrastructure or operations planning challenges under different operating styles. Three main research questions will be answered during the development of these tools:
• What is the relationship between the operation style, variability of train priority and speed, and the capacity of a single-track line?
• Can the properties of this relationship be used to gain insights on where to conduct capacity expansion projects or operational changes?
• Can this relationship be used to better predict the distribution of train delay?
