Network Statement 2014 - Slovenske železnice

Slovenske železnice - Infrastruktura d.o.o. – Network Statement of the Republic of Slovenia 2014 – 9.12.2012 – 0Since the substantial portion of the railway lines, used for international transit traffic in theRepublic of Slovenia, falls under the category D3, it is considered as normal category for theSlovenia's PRI rail lines.The main overview of permitted axle load and permitted load per meter on PRI lines isshown in table 2, in Section 3.3.1.1. of this document. More presise overview of permittedaxle load and permitted load per meter on particular sections of all lines of the PRI isdemonstrated in Annex 3/1a of this document.3.3.2.3. Line Gradients and Gradient ForcesThe ruling (maximum) line gradient of a rail line is the steepest incline or decline of the line.This is expressed in thousandth (‰) and is the basis for determining the braked weightpercentage, the journey time calculation, the tonnage of the load that the locomotive canhaul reliably, etc.The ruling (maximum) gradient force is the ruling line gradient, expressed in daN/t (DecNewton/ton) where bend tracks and tunnel resistance have to be added.An overview of the ruling gradients and gradient forces on individual lines is outlined inAnnex 3/5 of this document.3.3.2.4. Maximum Line SpeedsIn terms of the maximum line speed, the rail lines are categorised as high-speed rail lines andconventional lines. All rail lines in the Republic of Slovenia fall under the category ofconventional lines.The line speeds on the rail lines of the PRI are shown in Annex 3/6 of this document.3.3.2.5. Maximum Train LengthsWhile constructing a train path and for better exploitation of the PRI, the Manager considersthe usable lengths of station tracks and prescribes the maximum permitted length of thetrains, which run on particular PRI lines of the Republic of Slovenia.Maximum permitted length of a passenger trains on the PRI is 430 meters and of a freighttrains 700 meters. On particular lines permitted length is extra restricted because of shortstation tracks as is shown in the table below.List of lines where maximum permitted length of a trains is restrictedLINENo.NATIONAL NAME OF THE LINESECTION OF THE LINEMAXIMUMPERMITED LENGTHOF THE TRAIN 1)10 d.m. – Dobova – Ljubljana d.m. – Dobova – Ljubljana 570 m20 Ljubljana – Jesenice – d.m.
