Calificación: …………………………………………………………… EL PRESIDENTE LOS VOCALES EL SECRETARIO No tengo talentos especiales, solo soy apasionadamente curioso. Albert Einstein Agradecimientos AGRADECIMIENTOS Quería en este espacio agradecer a todas las personas y organismos que de un modo u otro habéis participado en la realización de esta tesis y me habéis echado una mano para conseguir este reto que empecé ya hace unos años. Afortunadamente no he estado sola y me habéis apoyado, sobre todo en esos momentos donde las cosas no estaban saliendo como esperaba y sentía como todo el esfuerzo no iba a servir para nada. Espero no dejarme a nadie en el tintero y si así fuera, mil disculpas, todos sabéis, incluso del que me pueda olvidar, que estaré eternamente agradecida. En primer lugar me gustaría agradecer al profesor Manuel Melis por haber dispuesto a mi alcance los medios de la Cátedra para sacar adelante esta tesis doctoral, pero sobre todo su valioso tiempo y su dedicación. Su conocimiento en esta materia así como su orientación han sido fundamentales a la hora de elaborar este trabajo. He intentado reflejar en él aparte de los resultados obtenidos, el sentido de la responsabilidad académica que me has transmitido así como la pasión por el ferrocarril que ambos compartimos. Igualmente a mi director de tesis Ricardo Insa por ayudarme a sacar adelante este trabajo así como la divulgación científica de los resultados obtenidos y a mi codirector, Vicente Cuellar, por tu colaboración en el contraste de todos los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo y gracias también por tu amabilidad. Gracias a Renfe Operadora, que en el Convenio suscrito por la Cátedra, permite que estudiantes como yo nos adentremos en el conocimiento del ferrocarril. Rafa, gracias también a ti, por tu tiempo y tu paciencia. Nos hemos conocido en este trabajo y eso me ha permitido aprender mucho junto a ti pero sobre todo tú ejemplo a la hora de trabajar. Gracias por apoyarme y animarme en tantos momentos y gracias por ensañarme tanto, sin ti, este trabajo no hubiera podido salir adelante. Ha sido un privilegio contar con las lecciones magistrales del profesor Puy. Hace unos años, como profesor en las asignaturas de cálculo numérico y ahora profesor cercano para resolver los misterios de las ondas wavelet. Muchas gracias por compartir tu tiempo y tus conocimientos y sobre todo por tu trato cercano y personal. Agradecimientos En la Escuela, quisiera agradecer su colaboración al profesor Valiente, al profesor Albajar y a los compañeros del departamento de Puertos. Gracias por vuestra colaboración. Y también a mis compañeros durante unos años de la Cátedra de Ferrocarriles que de un modo u otro siempre me habéis ayudado y sobre todo a ti Pepe, gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, por tu ánimo constante y gracias por apoyarme en tantos momentos a lo largo de todo el proceso. Fuera de la Escuela quisiera agradecer la colaboración fundamental de Moisés Gilaberte y Cecilio Hernández. Gracias por el interés mostrado en este trabajo y por el siempre interesante contraste de investigaciones y sobre todo, gracias por vuestro tiempo. A mi familia, que espero que con este trabajo, estén un poquito más orgullosos de mí. A mis padres y hermanos, que me brindaron su apoyo incondicional desde el primer día de mi formación y me han ayudado durante toda mi vida, y sobre todo a ti Luis, fuente inagotable de paciencia y a mis pequeños, a Luis, a Pablo Nicolás y a la pequeña Almudena, que sois mis soles cada día. A vosotros como esposa y madre, mil perdones, pues habéis llevado el peso pesado de tantas horas de ausencia. Esta tesis es también vuestra en parte y os la dedico con todo el cariño. A todos os quiero agradecer vuestra ayuda, apoyo y comprensión que me ha hecho más fácil conseguir terminar esta tesis. Índice ÍNDICE RESUMEN 1. INTRODUCCIÓN 1.1.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates.

The advantages of such lines Multiple paths between origins and destinations would diffuse are a higher quality of service than competing modes (air, bus, the network effects and result in less frequent service, and therefore auto, conventional rail), potentially faster point-to-point times reduce demand. The hub-and-spoke architecture, while benefitting depending on specific locations, faster loading and unloading the network as a whole when demand is insufficient to enable times, higher safety than some modes, and lower labor costs. frequent point-to-point service, clearly serves the hub cities the The disadvantage primarily lies in higher fixed costs, potentially most, as they gain from all the incoming flows which create addi- higher energy costs than some competing modes, and higher noise tional demand, and thus greater service.
