Abstract
⺠Spate of rail-accidents in India in 2010-is excess traffic straining the system? ⺠We analyze traffic-flow in present IR and growth in traffic over last two decades. ⺠High-traffic, low-headway routes concentrated in a few regions where accidents recur. ⺠Unbalanced growth in traffic in few regions, but minimal construction of new tracks. ⺠Flaws in scheduling of trains uncovered by simulating traffic-flow as per IR schedule.
