Daftar Isi:
- Railway line capacity has been an important issue in many countries. The increasing rail transport demands needs higher capacity. In fact, capacity is very complex as many factors are related. In road sector, road capacity manual has been developed for Indonesia and it is called MKJI, while until now, studies in the capacity of railway line in Indonesia has been very limited. It is important to put attention on railway line capacity analysis because it affects train journeys. Furthermore maintaining good safety is also important. A study has been carried out aiming at investigating the train journeys, safety, and railway line capacity. The data were collected from current operator, i.e. PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), Ministry of Transportation, and by direct observation. It was found that there were large variations in train journeys both at single and double track. Some accidents occurred and influenced the capacity of the railway line.
