Assessing the Efficiency of Increasing the Track Speed in the Line Section Rokycany–Plzeň hl. n.

Using simulation in OpenTrack, this paper analyses the journey of type trainsets on model infrastructure in the line section Rokycany–Ejpovice–Plzeň hl. n. The aim of this paper is to assess the efficiency of increasing the track speed in this section. Analyzing the output characteristics of the simulation, selected indicators were assessed which influence the efficiency of further increases in track speed. One of the simulation scenarios is using the European Train Control System Level 2 (ETCS L2) system as the necessary condition of the speed over 160 km·h−1.
