Evaluation of train timetable using indicators

Abstract

The article describes one of the evaluation tools of an application used for ordering train paths by railway undertakings in the Czech Republic. The tool allows calculating many indicators for the needs of freight and passenger transport. The calculation can be performed for selected lines, areas, tractions and periods. The areas can be standard (the Czech Republic and its regions) as well as user-defined (an arbitrary set of transport points and sections). After the calculation is done, selected paths of trains can be excluded or additionally included, which results in an immediate recalculation of the results.
