4 Content Freight wagons Passenger coaches Special vehicles Marking of rolling stock System of marking traction vehicle axle arrangement Letter marking for wagons Numerical marking for wagons RAIL SIGNALLING SYSTEM Signal aspects on rail signal devices Mechanical signal devices Light signal devices Marking of fixed rail signal devices Marking of non-portable rail signal devices by letters and numbers Colour marking of fixed rail signal devices Other Fixed signal devices and signals for rail vehicles movement SAFETY DEVICES AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS Station safety devices Mechanical station-based safety communications Electromechanical station-based interlocking Relay station-based safety communication Electronic safety devices Line safety devices Train safety devices Components enabling communication between the device and the running rail vehicle Continuous train control system applied by ŽSR The European train control system ERTMS/ETCS Level crossing safety devices Information and communication railway devices TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN RAILWAY TRANSPORT Rail traffic operation Train definition Classification of trains Numbering of trains Composition of the train Ensuring the train movement Securing train movement in the area of station Ensuring train movement in interstationary section Telephone interaction

5 Content Anticipated departure Automatic block Automatic signal block Safety device remote control Transport services operation and service documentation Transport services operation and service documentation Aids for train traffic diagram LOCAL PROCESSES AND TRAIN FORMATION Model of wagon flow organization and components of train forming plan Inputs for train forming plan Assessment criteria in train formation Definition of train formation issue Combinations of wagon flows Number of options in train formation Approaches to train formation Technological process in railway stations Intermediate and section stations Marshalling yards Next type of the stations TRAIN TRAFFIC DIAGRAM Graphic presentation of train traffic diagrams Classification of train traffic diagrams by their types Mutual relationship between the speed of trains in train traffic diagrams Number of line tracks Relation between number of trains in one direction and in opposite direction Organization of subsequent trains Occupation time of open line sections Duration of validity Degree of occupancy and capacity utilisation Systematic approach Data for compiling train traffic diagrams Train traffic extent Quantitative indicators Qualitative indicators of train traffic diagrams Speed types in train traffic Other qualitative indicators Time normatives of the traffic diagram Running times Dwell times of trains Operating intervals Station intervals

6 Content Line intervals Interval of opposite direction running Platform intervals Headway (sequential meantime) Headway for train paths secured by phone communication or semiautomatic block Headway for trains psths with their running secured by automatic block Entrance headway and resulting value of sequential mean time Electrical mean time (electrical headway) ESTIMATION OF RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY Essential terms and types of throughput efficiency Essential principles and methodologies for measurement of throughput and capacity estimation infrastructure capacity by using the simulation tools Requirements for software tools Scheme for techniques of estimation infrastructure capacity Required outputs of measurement and evaluation of capacity analysis Facilitation of timetable compilation and capacity analysis by means of software applications Customer requirements for rail infrastructure capacity International cooperation in timetabling Forum Train Europe Organisation for Co-operation between Railways Rail Net Europe LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST OF APPENDICES
