Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 773: Capacity Modeling Guidebook for Shared-Use Passenger and Freight Rail Operations provides state departments of transportation with technical guidance to aid in their understanding of the methods host railroads use to calibrate and apply capacity models. The guidebook examines the modeling processes and results that are used to define, measure, simulate, and evaluate railroad capacity. These models may help determine if adequate capacity exists to support new or increased passenger rail service or if infrastructure improvements may be necessary."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Guidebook will aid states in developing public-private partnerships with private freight railroads to permit operation of passenger services over shared-use rail corridors. The Guidebook should encourage the broad acceptance of improved principles, processes, and methods to support agreements on access, allocation of operation and maintenance costs, capacity allocation, operational issues, future responsibilities for infrastructure improvements, and other fundamental issues that will affect the ultimate success of shared-use passenger and freight agreements between public and private railroad stakeholders.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A railway line has finite capacity to provide transportation of goods and people at an acceptable level of service. The capacity of a particular route segment to satisfy railway traffic demand is largely a function of the track infrastructure layout and traffic control system. The amount of railway capacity consumed by a given demand for freight and passenger transportation is primarily a function of three factors: the number of trains required to transport the demanded freight and passenger volumes; the level-of-service requirements of each type of train; and complex interactions between different types of trains arising from the operating plan over a particular route segment. While much previous research has documented the relationship between infrastructure, traffic control and train volume, understanding the relationships between operating plans, train-type interactions and train-type-specific levels of service is still a knowledge gap. This research explores these latter factors in more detail and develops new capacity evaluation and infrastructure planning techniques to account for their effects. The first phase of this research will use RTC simulation and analytical techniques to develop a capacity evaluation process for shared corridors with multiple types of trains that each have their own level-of-service requirements. The developed process will be applied to a representative corridor to draw general conclusions about the impact of passenger trains on shared corridors with different mixtures of freight train types. The second phase of this research will use analytical techniques and RTC simulation to develop a new parametric model for the distribution of train delays on a single-track shared corridor. The third phase will develop an analytical screening tool for identifying appropriate infrastructure and operating solutions to increase capacity of shared corridors. The final phase will develop an optimization model for selecting siding locations on single-track shared corridors with structured timetable operations."--

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The majority of intercity passenger and commuter rail services in the U.S. operate on the shared-use corridors with freight rail services. These types of operations tend to be challenging for efficient capacity utilization and reliability due to the high heterogeneity of trains. As passenger traffic seeks higher speed and more frequencies, the situation is likely to be exacerbated. There are two main approaches to address the challenge, either by applying new capital investment (upgrading infrastructure components), or by modifying operational characteristics and parameters of the rail services (e.g. rescheduling and timetable management techniques). This project will build on current work to apply European and U.S. simulations software on shared use corridors. The objective is to develop a capacity parametric model that uses train timetable and optimization techniques to supplement rail operations simulation analysis toward improved capacity utilization levels of a given corridor. This study will focus on two existing shared use corridors. It will continue the work already initiated on Baltimore-Washington section of the Northeast Corridor and incorporate a segment of Michigan HSR corridor. The study will be based on actual infrastructure, signaling and train characteristics and will use outputs of the European simulation packages (Railsys and/or Opentrack) as well as Rail Traffic Controller (RTC), a common simulation package in the U.S., to evaluate different traffic scenarios and operational variables of the proposed model."--

This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory and Applications" follows the book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling, published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedules play in transportation systems. Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last few years the schedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planning of other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freight transport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolution over time of the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance, using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers in transportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, and investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such new technologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies).
