Railway traffic management as a function of the new infrastructure manager

Abstract

This article offers a survey of the current decentralised form of railway traffic management within the public railway infrastructure in the The Republic of Slovenia, which is the result of out-of-date and worn-out safety installations of railway stations and railway lines. The article presents a new model of railway traffic management as the basis for efficient activity and harmonization of railway traffic management in the The Republic of Slovenia to the systems of railway traffic management within EU. This article presents the advantages of a centralised system of railway traffic management and demonstrates that the application of this system can solve the problem of decentralized traffic management as a function of the new infrastructure manager. Članek podaja pregled današnje decentralizirane oblike vodenja železniškega prometa na javni železniški infrastrukturi v Republiki Sloveniji, ki je posledica zastarele in dotrajane opremljenosti postaj in prog s signalnovarnostnimi napravami. V članku je predstavljen novi model vodenja železniškega prometa kot osnova za učinkovito delovanje in prilagajanje vodenja železniškega prometa v Sloveniji s sistemom vodenja prometa v državah Evropske unije. Članek podaja prednosti, ki jih dosega centraliziran sistem vodenja železniškega prometa ter dokazuje, da se z uporabo predlaganega modela lahko reši problem decentraliziranega vodenja prometa v funkciji novega upravljavca infrastrukture.
