Overview
The general objective of the project was to develop innovative characterization and dimensioning tools for high capacity rail lines. These tools would allow the performance of minimum interval calculations for lines equipped with CBTC and ERTMS L2 signalling, as well as dimensioning fixed or virtual track circuits for a given minimum interval.

RESULTS
A complete and detailed model of the operation of trains equipped with the CBTC and ERTMS signaling systems would be obtained, which would allow the accurate calculation of transport capacity, including models of the dynamics of the train, operation of the signaling and ATP protection systems (both trackside and onboard), and operation of the ATO (Automatic Train operation) systems (including the new "ATO over ERTMS" system, under development).
