Comparative application of methods for the combined lines-nodes capacity assessment
Nowadays, a considerable percentage of trains mature delays due to nodes and stations congestion.
They are normally a combination of effects of routes conflicts in stations on lines and propagation in
stations of delays suffered along the lines. It is a consequence of the variable values of capacity within
the railway system caused by a combination of parameters, more relevant when short line sections
separate nearby stations. Goal of the research is to compare some literature methods for the assessment
