Abstract

This report provides state departments of transportation with technical guidance to aid in their understanding of the methods host railroads use to calibrate and apply capacity models. The guidebook examines the modeling processes and results that are used to define, measure, simulate, and evaluate railroad capacity. These models may help determine if adequate capacity exists to support new or increased passenger rail service or if infrastructure improvements may be necessary. (Author/publisher)
