“…There are some articles which solve this problem from the capacity point of view [8][9][10][11], the economic point of view [12,13], or the strategic point of view [14,15]. But none of those articles addresses the possibility of simulating those regional lines with simplified train operational control in a simulation tool.…”

Simulation of Railway Lines with a Simplified Interlocking System

This paper deals with railway lines with low traffic intensity where trains are operated under simplified conditions. Those conditions are stated in a regulation, and there is no interlocking system on the line. The whole railway operation is organized according to a regulation in cooperation with the train crew. For the calculation of the throughput, we can use analytic or simulation methods. On those lines there is a big problem with the common working methods because of special circumstances on each line, which are influencing the technological times and reliability of the calculation. The simplified conditions are the transforming of regular interlocking systems on the administrative level. Therefore, it is very complicated to use a common simulation model. Most of the simulation tools are not able to work with it. The motivation of this paper is to prove that modern simulation tools are usable for that specific condition as well. The simulation model was built in SW OpenTrack which is able to modify its functions to figure out each technological action to ensure the correct function of the model. This functionality is described in the paper in general and implemented on a case study.

“…The third variable examined is, in a more original way, the distance from the small city to a railway station. Indeed, although this is still far from being the general rule, land planning is starting to take stations into account when deciding on the location of new housing programmes (Desjardins, Leroux 2007, Leysens 2011, CEREMA 2014, Maulat 2014, Maulat, Krauss 2014. At the same time, it is assumed that the proximity of a railway station has a greater influence on households in their residential choices, above all to commute to larger neighbouring cities where the labour market is increasingly polarising (Bentayou, Caron 2014, Bentayou et al 2015.…”

In international literature, small cities are often presented as the weak link within the urban system due to their lower growth rate and the threat of shrinking in the context of metropolisation. However their population dynamics are highly variable between places, determined by a number of factors, such as the national and regional demographic trends or the local economic base. This article proposes a regional case study on Western France, examining their demographic changes from 1990 to 2015. Three possible factors based on underlying assumptions are tested: 1. the proximity of larger cities as a possible revitalisation factor due to urban sprawl; 2. The vicinity of the coast attributed to the growing role of residential attractiveness; 3. In a more original way, the distance to a railway station as a potential factor, boosted by the recent passenger railway service strengthening. The results are counter-intuitive and the assumptions only partially validated, which invites us to reassess the relevance of the analysis of urban dynamics by size class.

“…One example of a collaborative establishment of a rail line could be the establishment of a 'contrat d'axe' (Mauliat & Krauss, 2014), or axis agreement, a bottomup tool developed in France during the last decade. It comprises an agreement joining all the stakeholders in planning and transport to improve the quality of public transport, and especially along a regional railway.…”

Efficient mobility is an essential driving force for the development of cross-border (CB) regions. The different settings and visions of neighbouring CB entities may lead to unsatisfactory transport connections across the border. This case study of a CB connection focuses on this issue and highlights, by means of a comparative analysis, how the differences in six perspectives (the economic context; urban and regional planning in Belgium and the Netherlands; the structure of the rail network; barriers in the exploitation of the railway; the current travel demand by rail; and the governance, public planning and policy context) lead to an unsatisfactory rail connection between Liège (Belgium) and Maastricht (the Netherlands). Based on the results of the analysis, we suggest reinforcing cross-mobility connections through several tools such as (i) the development of a common governance, by including economic and social stakeholders; (ii) the development of joint technical projects in relation to the infrastructure, communication systems and the rolling stock; and (iii) the strengthening of flows between the two sides of the border, especially the homework flows.
