New interoperable CBTC system for the future urban transport

A.P. Cucala A. Fernández-Cardador A. Fernández Rodríguez G. Sánchez-Contreras M. Blanco Castillo

January 2020 - December 2021

Funding entity CAF SIGNALLING, SL


In this project, new models are developed for the calculation of transport capacity in railways urban networks equipped with CBTC or ERTMS signalling system. These models obtain the maximum capacity in complex nodes of the network: terminal stations, intermediate turn-back stations, yards and switches. In addition, an optimization model is developed for the design of the signaling system to fulfill a target headway between trains.
This project is in the framework of the CIEN program (2018) of CDTI.
