Sažetak
In this work the study focuses on: - determining the elements required to determine the location for the installation of the main signals, - calculated block lengths, and - calculations of optimal headways, that have not been studied in detail although they deserve special attention due to their impact. Generally speaking, the signals are installed in compliance with the local circumstances, i.e. according to the technical and technological characteristics and conditions determined by the traffic places of work they protect. The distribution and length of the blocks depend on: the railway line and its exploitation characteristics, structure and type of trains that run on the railway line, traffic organisation and signalisation system, as well as technical and exploitation characteristics of the traction vehicles and the rolling stock. What has to be considered is that the minimum section length cannot be shorter than the length of the braking distance, i.e. the length of the longest train which runs on the respective railway line. The study of these parameters is supplemented by the calculation of the reduction in throughput capacity depending on the lack of uniformity in the operation of trains, which, in order to maintain the design quality of the transportation service, and in the activities of establishing and implementing the business policy shouldn't be left out nor bypassed.
