Abstract
MARQUEZ DIAZ, Luis Gabriel; VEGA BAEZ, Luis Alfredo and POVEDA D'OTERO, Juan Carlos. An Assessment of Railway Capacity of Corridor Bogotá - Belencito. rev.ing. [online]. 2011, n.35, pp.12-19. ISSN 0121-4993.
Analytical models are applied to evaluate four types of railway capacity in seven sections of the corridor Bogotá - Belencito. The critical canton of the railway network is identified, and the higher capacity segment. Given the current operating conditions, we analyzed the available capacity of Bogota's commuter train and a passenger train between Tunja and Sogamoso. A sensitivity analysis of capacity is done about the operating speed and distance between stations and we then present recommendations to increase railway capacity in the corridor.
