Abstract

Railways are a safe and efficient transport mode, with safety ensured by signalling systems and efficiency maintained by traffic management. This thesis proposes models to support the effective management of real-time railway operations under next-generation, radio-based distance-to-go signalling. It provides insights valuable to both the scientific community and the railway industry, supporting the future implementation of such signalling systems and contributing to the continued development of railways as a safe and efficient mode of transport.
