Capacity Analysis of Rail Container Freight Shuttle TrainWhich factors are important for running this kind of train?

Sammanfattning: Banverket, the Swedish National Rail Administration, and the Port of Göteborgare interested in finding which factors are important for carrying the railcontainer freight shuttle trains. The capacity analysis is being researched on arailway link. We propose that capacity on a railway link can be assessed byanalyze the interrelationship of different sections in between the whole link.This report covers an account of our implementation of Vänerexpressen ABcase. We focus on how different factors in between the whole rail link interacteach other and how the capacity be influenced by the interaction.The interrelationship of different sections is important for finding a practicalway to increase the rail capacity. Our results constitute an important piece in awork that has the potential of making a real difference in the way in whichcapacity related issues in this field are handled.
