Demixing of railway infrastructure |
|
evaluated |
|
|
|
At present many railway lines have a mixed operation, i.e. trains with big speed differences run on the same lines. In an effort to increase capacity without investing in additional infrastructure, infrastructure operators try to “demix” their infrastructure by restricting trains to specific tracks according to average speed. Improved traffic fluidity may reduce energy consumption.
