Assessment of partial double-tracked railway lines with focus on capacity

Original language description

There is a relatively significant number of single-tracked railway lines in operation. Travel times can be improved because trains must wait on passing (crossing) with the other trains whereas capacity and quality level can be decreased due to this fact. On the other hand, the construction of the second track along the line can be expensive and should be considered only in cases of heavy traffic. Partial double-tracking can be an effective way of how to improve capacity and quality with limited costs. The paper is focused on the capacity assessment of partially double-tracked lines with an effort to find a process for determining which line segments should be upgraded to double-tracked and which should remain as single-tracked segments. Operational features, such as delay and delay propagation (timetable stability) are the main indicators for this process. These features are assessed with a microsimulation model created within the simulation tool OpenTrack.
