Influence of Train Control System on Railway Track Capacity

The basic advantage of the train control methods based on the moving block technology compared to the fixed blocks where the headways of the slower trains, regarding their longer blocking times affects negatively the line capacity, lies in the fact that the position and the length of the moving blocks adapts to the position, dynamic characteristics, and actual speed of the successive train. Regarding a higher possibility for influence on the train movement characteristic during the moving block train operation, better traffic fluidity with more regular traffic flow can be achieved. Considering this fact an amount of regular recovery and buffer times needed for railway timetable stability can be decreased and thus more train paths in a particular dedicated time window can be added. In this way the moving block technology can increase the capacity of a railway line, especially in case of high density lines with significant heterogeneity of traffic.
