Proposed Solutions for Increasing the Capacity of the Mediterranean Corridor on Section Zagreb - Rijeka

This paper analyzes all the bottlenecks on the railway line M 202 along the section of the European Mediterranean Corridor, which is a part of the corridor located in the Republic of Croatia. Upon the identification and analysis of these bottlenecks, new technical and technological solutions will be put forward for increasing the capacity of the railway line, i.e. the sections with bottlenecks. The researched bottlenecks on the observed section will be quantified according to the technological indicators of timetable quality and several other parameters (travel time, the manner in which trains depart in certain directions and the maximum utilization of the existing capacity). The potential solutions will be assessed by determining the railway infrastructure fees. A simulation software tool OpenTrack will be used for potential technological solutions.
