Modeling the Impact of Digitalization on Railway Capacity

Digitalization offers a valuable opportunity to increase railway capacity efficiently. Railways face rising demand, but expanding infrastructure is often infeasible due to space, cost, and planning constraints. Instead, digitalization enables better use of existing infrastructure through real-time train control, adaptive scheduling, and intelligent traffic management. Technologies like ETCS, moving-block systems, and automated decision support systems improve efficiency while ensuring safety and reliability. Read full abstract
