Article 3. Definitions

For the purposes of this Circular, the terms below shall be construed as follows:

1. “capacity of the railway infrastructuremeans the throughput of the infrastructure, which is determined by the axial load, uniformly distributed load and maximum speed (Vmax) of a train on a railway line; throughput of the railway station and railway signaling system.

2. “timetable” provides a basis for train operation and is established on an annual, periodic and seasonal basis for each line, section and the entire railway network. The timetable shows the number of trains, use of locomotives, coaches, professional station and time over which a train runs through blocks per 24 hours on a section and railway line.
