The paper presents the transformation of the Ljubljana railway station as required for the construction of the Ljubljana Passenger Center. In this context, it discusses certain issues, including the construction of middle supports, the reorganisation of railway tracks, as well as the track devices, catenary, signalling and telecommunications devices etc. The article defines the specific construction phases for which the corresponding railway traffic organisation and obstructions to the railway traffic are summarised.
Multiple organisational measures have been foreseen for both the passenger as well as freight traffic. The objective of the organisational measures during construction of Ljubljana Passenger Center is to reorganise the railway traffic at the Ljubljana railway station in order to achieve a better utilisation of the existing infrastructure and decrease the number of conflicting situations related to the train and shunting routes. Due to the challenges which the organisation of traffic and the potentially insufficient capacity of the passenger station for both the passenger and freight trains pose for the construction, the traffic was simulated with a modern rail traffic simulation software, which supports on-the-fly calculations of traffic-related effects, including the station track occupancy, based on the suggested infrastructure measures (the RailSys programme).
