Influence of Train Control System Characteristic on Railway Infrastructure Capacity

Division of the railway line into fixed blocks of the pre-determined length often fails to be adapted to those trains that have shorter braking distances. Thus, the headways of the slower trains, regarding their longer bloking times, affects negatively the line capacity and therefore represents one of the essential reasons of reduced efficiency of rail traffic. By comparing the relative distance in the sequence of two successive trains which is achieved by different types of train control systems it is concluded that the possibility of train sequence at shorter distances, that does not reduce at the same time their speed, increases the line capacity.
