  • Rail Baltica
    Rail Baltica Status: In implementation Rail Baltica Published: 21.07.2020. Updated: 17.08.2021. Rail Baltica Global project is an initiative of great significance and added value both in the Baltic Sea region and Europe as a whole. Rail Baltica is an essential part of the European standard 1435 mm gauge Trans - European Transport Network (TEN-T )North Sea - Baltic Corridor – a new electrified high speed double standard gauge railway line equipped with European Railway Traffic Management System ERTMS connecting Tallinn with the Lithuanian - Polish border and further up to Warsaw via a modernized railway line corresponding to the technical requirements of Rail Baltica. It will link Europe’s largest ports of Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp with the Baltics. Rail Baltica - part of TEN-T North Sea-Baltic Corridor Completion of the whole TEN-T network is set for 2030. Rail Baltica as a vital part of it targets completion within the next 2021- 2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. Rail Baltica project the largest infrastructure project in the Baltic region over the last 100 years for both passenger and freight traffic length: 870 km (~265 km in Latvia) max speed: 249 km/h (passenger), 120 km/h (freight) project is implemented in parallel in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania financed 81-85% by EU, Connecting Europe Facility instrument and co-financed by the Baltic countries History Rail Baltica project is sometimes described as a symbolic return of the Baltic countries into Europe – up until WWII the Baltic countries were already connected to other European capitals by a 1435 mm gauge railway line while since the middle of the 20th century the Baltic countries have been mainly linked to the East-West railway axis using the Russian 1520 mm gauge.

  • Dynamic Model of the Passenger Flow on Rail Baltica
    Proceedings of the 2018 Winter Simulation Conference M. Rabe, A.A. Juan, N. Mustafee, A. Skoogh, S. Jain, and B. Johansson, eds. DYNAMIC MODEL OF THE PASSENGER FLOW ON RAIL BALTICA Juri Tolujew Tobias Reggelin Irina Yatskiv Ilya Jackson Department of Mathematical Methods and Department of Logistics and Material Handling Modelling Systems Transport and Telecommunication Institute Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg Lomonosova Str. 1 Universitätsplatz 2 LV-1019 Riga, LATVIA 39106 Magdeburg, GERMANY ABSTRACT This paper describes the design and application of a model simulating the passenger flows on the high- speed rail line Rail Baltica. The proposed model allows one to define passenger flow service indicators, according to data on the behavior of potential passengers that take the train in different localities along Rail Baltica. If corresponding baseline data is provided and the duration of the longest trip will not exceed one day, the model can be used to study processes on other railways with a similar structure. The developed model simulates movements and accumulation of passengers at stations and in trains on four sections connecting five cities along Rail Baltica. Besides that, the model allows for studying particular scenarios related to large sports or other events that will take place near one or several cities through which the railway passes. 1 INTRODUCTION Rail Baltica is a project to construct a high-speed railway that will link up the Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia with Central European countries. As the result of the “Rail Baltica I” stage, a standard-gauge railway with a track gauge of 1,435 mm will be built.
